Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams Thinly sliced ham (preferably prosciutto or smoked ham)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Cut a small slice off the bottom of each tomato so they can stand upright when plated.
Use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp from each tomato, creating a small hollow. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the sliced ham to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until it starts to crisp up and releases some of its fat.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the ham and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize.
Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir continuously and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens to a marmalade-like consistency.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, then season the marmalade with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Using a small spoon, fill each hollowed cherry tomato with a generous amount of the ham marmalade.
Drizzle the filled tomatoes with a light touch of olive oil for added shine and flavor.
Arrange the tomatoes on a serving platter and garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
