With so many people coming in from out of town I made these up to serve all of my guests with my Dearest Sweet Nephews wifes help. Of course we couldn't serve them without tasting a few ourselves, mmmmm good I so love feta, add the mint, basil and oregano to taste and my Sweet Shannon states they are super. We didn't have the lemon olive oil, so used the bit of lemon juice with plain olive oil, which I don't think detered from the flavor at all. We also wanted to show that you should not limit this to just tomatoes so stuffed some cucumber slices with the filling also. I think it would even be a great filling for hard boiled egg whites and the saltiness of the feta would only enhance the egg. Thank You so much for the recipe my sweet adopted baby.
