Creamy-Garlic Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

Scoop out the seeds and pulp of fresh cherry tomatoes; make a creamy, garlicky filling; and pipe it into the empty tomatoes. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can cut off the corner of a heavy, resealable food storage bag; add the filling to the bag; and squeeze it through the hole into the tomatoes.
