Baked Stuffed Tomatoes

Tomatoes, tomatoes everywhere!  This is a favorite side dish of mine and my husbands and come to think of it, my daughters.  So totally easy and so super yummy.  I love them with goat cheese but they are equally delish with feta.  Serve them along side steak or chicken.  Toss them on a warm salad or pop a couple on top of a simple pasta with olive oil.  Yum!
I'm not giving exact measurements because I don't have them.  Depends on how many you make.  You could even sprinkle on some toasted bread crumbs.  Wing it.  That's what makes cooking fun!

Baked Stuffed Tomatoes


Plum Tomatoes
Clove of garlic, chopped (optional)
Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper
Goat Cheese or Feta Cheese
Olive Oil
Fresh Basil (Optional)

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.  Cut the tomatoes in halve and scoop out seeds.  Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and sprinkle in a little chopped garlic and a pinch of oregano.  Mound in your cheese of choice.  Place in a baking dish.  Bake for about 20 minutes or until tomatoes and cheese are soft.  Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss on some fresh basil for good measure.
