Caprese Roasted Tomatoes

I was really in the mood for something refreshing but I was also kind of craving comfort food.  (my comfort food is tomato soup!)  So I decided to bake the tomatoes to give a little bit of both!  They are soo good.  You can serve them as a main dish with a salad, or as a side.  Either way, they are my new favorite dish! I apologize about the picture.  I keep forgetting to take pictures after i make a dish, so this one is just the last one the next day.  But it was still delicious! 

Caprese Baked Tomatoes

Makes 4

Ingredients

2 Large Tomatoes

½ C Fresh Mozzarella, finely chopped or shredded

1/3 C Fresh Basil, chopped

1/3 C Fresh Grated Parmesan

White Tarragon Vinegar

Olive Oil

Directions

Cut tomatoes in half width wise, so you have a top and bottom half.  Carefully cut out center of tomato leaving enough room for at least ½” of ‘shell’.  Dice up tomato parts that have been removed and put in bowl.  Add mozzarella and basil to bowl and mix around.  Drizzle in some vinegar salt and pepper, then stuff the tomato shells with the mixture.  Top with Parmesan, and drizzle olive oil over top.  Bake at 400 for about 20 mins, then increase temp to 450 and bake another 10 mins.  Make sure the cheese doesn't start to burn.  If it is getting too brown take out and top with tin foil.
