Ingredients
2 pounds cherry tomatoes
1 small head garlic
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh herbs
salt and pepper
1 8-oz goat cheese log
crusty bread
Directions
Preheat oven to 350oF.
Peel garlic and cut into chunks. In a big bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and fresh herbs. Put tomatoes in a shallow pan or in individual oven-safe ramekins. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 40 minutes.
Slice goat cheese into ~1 cm medallions. Top tomatoes with goat cheese then return to oven. Bake for another 8 minutes. If desired, brown goat cheese by broiling in the oven or by using a torch.
Serve with toasted crusty bread.
Looks very delicious! Thanks for this :)
You're right, it's delicious even though it's so easy to make. Thanks for stopping by @askaran!
This sounds just up my alley @offoodandart - and for meat lovers makes an amazing topping onto a grilled steak. I will definitely try your recipe - I love tomatoes and goats cheese
Whoa, topping meat with this does sound good! Great idea!
It's something I first had when visiting Greece many years ago. Grilled steak with tomato and feta topping - and I've made it a few times - but not nearly enough
It does sounds so good. I think I will will try it soon.
You will love it @offoodandart
Woah, that looks amazing, the photos are really professional.
Now I'm hungry...
