Plum Tomato Appetizer

I prepared these for a 4th of July bash and they were light, tasty, and great for a hot day. A big plus is they are super-easy to make. I found the recipe on epicurious.com which says the original recipe came from Bon Appetit. You can get very creative with this appetizer and add different flavors or let the tomatoes take center stage. Enjoy!

Ingredients
12 plum tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 5.3 oz. container of herbed goat cheese, marinated mozzarella, pesto, or any other kind of filling you like

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the tomatoes on a cooking sheet lined with foil or well oiled. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper, then drizzle them with olive oil. Use an oil dispenser or spray can so you don't soak the tomatoes or else they will come out too soggy. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 40-50 minutes, then let them completely cool. Spoon your fillings into the tomatoes and serve! So easy!
