- Dash hot sauce
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Step 3: Meanwhile, using a serrated knife, slice off the top third of each cherry tomato.
-
Step 4: Using your index finger or a very small spoon, remove and discard the seeds and inside flesh of the tomatoes.

Step 5: To fill the tomatoes, place the pimento cheese in a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or use a medium sealable plastic bag with one of the corners snipped off.
