Boursin Stuffed Tomatoes - Easiest Appetizer Ever

It's ridiculous how simple but shockingly delicious these are and I stumbled upon them by accident (I'm sure they've been done a million times before but for those that haven't made them, you must).  On one of our insanely hot and humid days I was asked to make a light app.  First thing that came to mind was my guacamole stuffed cherry tomatoes...fresh, simple and light.  I wandered off to the grocery store and perused the avocado but to my dismay, there wasn't a ripe one to be found.  Stumped, I wandered aimlessly through the grocery store.......too dramatic?  Ok, I walked over to the cheese area of the store and a package of Boursin basically shot out and slapped me in the face.  It was a no-brainer. 
This isn't so much a recipe because I'm not sure if something this easy can be considered that but more of an idea.  The hardest part is scooping out the cherry tomatoes and even that isn't complicated.  You will need a very sharp paring knife.  If you don't have one, buy one.  They're cheap.  *Slice a tiny wafer thin piece off the bottom of a round cherry tomato (grape tomatoes just don't work here) so it stands up and slice another piece off the top.  Use the tip of the knife or a very small spoon to scoop out the tomato.  It's not rocked science.  It's tasty.
p.s. let's get real, you can stuff anything into a tomato but these were too yummy not to share.

*Read above how to prepare the tomatoes.  Stuff a small amount of cheese into tomato.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Easy.
