Cheesy Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Just a quick turn in the oven gives these cheesy roasted tomatoes good caramelization, allowing the natural sweetness to blend with the hearty flavors of this delicious summer farm fresh produce.
Cheesy Roasted Tomatoes - Barrie Hill Farms
I seem to always have the problem of too many tomatoes or not enough.  This week I had too many and had to cook some up before they went bad.  I’ve roasted cherry and grape tomatoes but never large ones.  I was tempted by my favourite flavours of tomato, cheese and basil and had just enough of each ingredient to roast
Goat cheese, parmesan or mozzarella will give you terrific flavours.  These would be great as an addition to a BBQ’d meal or with some couscous or freekah.
I made a dressing of garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and fresh basil and just drizzled it over the tomatoes when they were done.  The calorie count is low in this meal so you can treat yourself to some garlic bread to soak up the tomato juices.  Roasting is a great way to coax concentrated flavours from less than pristine tomatoes.  The flavours were a taste bud sensation! My new favourite dish. Cheers!
