Spread pesto on top of each tomato, using about 1 teaspoon per tomato.

Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of that and bake at 400 degrees F for about 20 mintes or until the cheese has melted and is slightly browned.

This easy recipe turns out so beautifully - like something from a restaurant. I used a homemade crust - very thin and it was spectacular. Definitely different. My husband loved it but thought it would be better as an appetizer.
