Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut off the tops. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp, being careful not to break the tomato walls. Set the hollow tomato shells aside.
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, finely chopped fresh basil, finely chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each hollowed-out cherry tomato with the herbed cream cheese mixture.
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped basil or parsley if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
