For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture or use a spicy cocktail sauce. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack or a blend of Italian cheeses would also work well. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for an extra touch of freshness. To peel and seed tomatoes easily, score the bottom of the tomato with an 'X', then blanch it in boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer it to an ice bath to cool, then the skin will easily slip off.
