Cheese Cream Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes

Add the tomato caps and decorate

Creamy tuna stuffed tomatoes! Oh boy, when I first made these cheese cream tuna stuffed tomatoes I didn’t plan to add cream cheese at all. My intention was to stuff the tomatoes with my classic tuna salad, however as after I started them I realised I don’t have any mayonnaise and didn’t have time to make my own, I had to substitute it with something else. What a great outcome! Now I often make these stuffed tomatoes even if I have mayonnaise. They are exquisite!
