Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a better roasting texture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tomato halves cut-side up.
Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil, making sure each half gets coated slightly. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Sprinkle them evenly over the tomatoes.
Crumble the gorgonzola cheese into small pieces and divide it among the tomato halves, placing a generous amount on each.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the tomatoes for an earthy herbal aroma.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are caramelized and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Before serving, chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the roasted tomatoes for a burst of freshness. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or on top of toasted bread for a delightful bruschetta-style treat.
