Tomatoes Stuffed With Goat Cheese Recipes

BAKED STUFFED TOMATOES WITH GOAT CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If necessary, slice a very thin layer off bottoms of tomatoes so they will stand upright. Core tomatoes, and carve them out, stopping about about 3/4 inch from bottom and sides. (Do not remove too much, or tomato will collapse when baked.) Season inside of each tomato with salt. In a small bowl, stir together mascarpone and goat cheese.
• To prepare topping, melt butter with oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and anchovies, and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Stir in bread crumbs, and sauté 2 minutes more. Season with pepper.
• Fill each hollow with mascarpone mixture. Top generously with bread crumbs. Transfer tomatoes to a baking sheet, and bake until they are slightly blistered and the tops are golden, about 10 minutes.

OVEN-ROASTED TOMATOES STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°. Slice off the top 1/2 inch of each tomato and reserve the tops. Scoop out the tomato cores and seeds. Cut a very thin sliver off of the bottom of each tomato to help them stand up straight. Arrange the tomatoes in a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
• In a bowl, combine the goat cheese with the egg, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Spoon the goat cheese mixture into the tomatoes, mounding the filling 1/2 inch above the rim. Cover with the tomato tops and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Bake the tomatoes for 35 minutes, until tender and browned in spots and the cheese is hot. Let stand for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place a wire rack (if using*) on top of a large baking sheet and mist with cooking spray. Carefully remove and transfer the mushroom stems to a cutting board and finely chop. Cluster the mushroom caps close together cavity-side-up on the prepared baking rack. Drizzle the mushroom caps evenly with 1 tablespoon (or more) olive oil and season evenly with a few twists of black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add Panko and toss to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden. Transfer the Panko to a bowl, then briefly wipe down the sauté pan to remove any remaining crumbs.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the white parts of the scallions and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and chopped mushroom stems and sauté for 3 to 5 more minutes until tender. Remove pan from heat.
• Combine the garlic-mushroom mixture, cream cheese, goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and basil in a mixing bowl (or you can combine them in the same sauté pan) and stir until evenly combined.
• Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Use a small spoon to scoop the filling mixture evenly into the prepared mushroom caps, pressing the filling into the cavities as much as possible. Dip the mushrooms upside-down in the Panko mixture so that it coats the filling, then place the mushrooms back on the wire rack spaced at least 1 inch apart.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushroom caps are tender. (Baking time will vary based on the size of your mushrooms.)
• Remove baking sheet from the oven and serve the stuffed mushrooms warm, sprinkled with extra fresh basil if you would like. Enjoy!
