Recipe courtesy of Guy Crosby
Cook Time 30 min.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 medium fresh tomatoes (about one pound)
- ½ pound fresh goat cheese
- ½ large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, or light gas on charcoal grill.
- Slice off top ½ inch of each tomato and scoop out the tomato core and seeds. Slice off a small sliver from bottom of each tomato so they will stand upright in a small ceramic baking dish.
- In a bowl combine the goat cheese with the egg, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of the olive oil. Fill the empty core of each tomato with the goat cheese mixture. Place the top on each tomato and drizzle with the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil.
- Either bake in oven in ceramic baking dish for 30 minutes, or grill directly on the cool side of the grill (not directly over heat) until tender and browned in spots. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Serve as either a side dish or main course, either hot or cooled to room temperature.
