Golden Goats Cheese Tomatoes Recipes

BAKED TOMATOES WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Slice off the tops of 4 large beefsteak tomatoes; scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Fill each tomato with 1 ounce crumbled goat cheese. Combine 1/2 cup panko, 2 tablespoons each olive oil, grated Parmesan and chopped parsley, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 teaspoon each fresh thyme and grated lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; sprinkle on the tomatoes. Bake at 450˚ F until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

GOLDEN GOAT'S CHEESE TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the spinach in a colander, pour over a kettle of boiling water until the spinach wilts, then drain and squeeze out as much liquid as you can (you might need to do this in two batches). Put the spinach in the bottom of a gratin or baking dish, season, then sprinkle with nutmeg.
• Drape the prosciutto over and around the spinach, then sit the tomato halves on top, cut-side up. Dot the crème fraîche over the whole dish, scatter with the goat's cheese, then season with more pepper. Bake for 10-15 mins until the cheese is melting into the crème fraîche and the edges are starting to bubble. Scoop out of the dish and serve with crusty bread and a green salad.
