Cheese Stuffed Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes

[vfem]

Recipe -
Cut off top and remove seeds from 18+ cherry tomatoes. Heirloom are your most flavorful choice. Set aside.
Then mix in a bowl 1/2 cup shredded mozerella
1/4-1/2 cup bread crumbs - Start with 1/4 and add as you go so all the cheese is lightly coated
2+ tbsp olive oil (enough so everything sticks and blends well)
a handful of fresh chopped basil, salt and pepper.

Stuff tomatoes and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Eat hot, OR cold as a side or appetizer.

Of course you can use full size tomatoes and let them cook a little longer!

I'm so making this ASAP!! I bet string cheese would be easy to put down inside the cherry tomatoes...

Ahhh, must try them! They look awesome!

ANy cheese will work, but its the bread crumbs and oil that make it all brown and crisp on top... while the cheese inside is gooey!

I was lucky enough to have a ton of my Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes ready. They are thick and work well for cooking. They are also VERY flavorful. I am going to save seed and grow these again, next year for SURE!
