Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
- Slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a cavity for the filling. Discard or set aside the scooped-out flesh for another use.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped olives, and roughly chopped basil leaves.
- Spoon the feta and olive mixture into the cavities of each tomato, pressing down gently to fill them well.
- Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes to help them roast nicely.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Roast the tomatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the cheese is slightly browned on top.
- Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
- Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm tomatoes to prevent them from becoming too mushy during roasting.
- Use high-quality feta cheese for a richer and creamier taste.
- Experiment with different types of olives, such as Kalamata or green olives, to find your preferred flavor profile.
- Add a sprinkle of pepper or a dash of balsamic glaze for an extra layer of complexity.
- Serve the dish warm for the best flavor, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Pair with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
Cooking Feta and olive roast tomatoes is both quick and easy, offering a delicious and nutritious dish with minimal effort.
