Cherry Tomato Planets

Preheat broiler. Slice upper 1/8 inch off stem end of tomatoes using paring knife; reserve tops. Core tomatoes using small melon baller or by carefully pinching out core using thumb and index finger.

Fill each tomato with cheese; top with slice of pepperoni. Cover with reserved tomato top; secure with toothpick.

Place filled tomatoes on baking sheet. Broil about 6 inches from heat for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and tomatoes just begin to shrivel.

Transfer tomatoes to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove toothpicks before serving. Serve warm.
