Oven roasted tomatoes
Ingredients
- ripe round tomatoes
- sliced cheese, like scamorza, an Italian smoked cheese, the most suitable, but also halloumi, Tomino or mozzarella
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- herbs, basil, thyme, chives ...
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170°C.
- Wash and slice the tomatoes.
- Cut the cheese into thick slices and make small towers alternating tomatoes and cheese.
- Season each layer with salt and freshly ground black pepper, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs.
- Stick a toothpick or a sprig of thyme in the middle of each tomato to prevent the stacks from collapsing during the cooking in the oven.
- Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tomato flesh is well cooked.
- Serve the tomatoes with the delicious cheese sauce they made.

Notes
A tip: arrange the tomatoes one next to the other in a small baking pan. This will also prevent the tomatoes from collapsing.
