Romas and Goats (Roma Tomatoes With Goat Cheese Appetizers) image

I got this recipe from my favorite cookbook from Coastal Living. They are just as delicious as they are beautiful! I will make sure to take pictures the next I make these. They are a great addition to any appetizer party, wine tasting, whatever!

Time 28m

Yield 24 halves, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs, may substitute toasted fresh breadcrumbs)
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/3 cup butter, melted
11 ounces goat cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 small plum tomatoes (Roma)
pesto sauce

Steps:

  • Stir together first 5 ingredients in a shallow dish. Stir in butter; set aside.
  • Combine goat cheese, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Cut tomatoes in half horizontally; trim a small amount from rounded edges, if necessary, so halves will stand upright. Remove seeds and pulp. Spoon about 2 teaspoons goat cheese mixture into each half.
  • Dip tomato halves, upside down, in breadcrumb mixture, coating cut edges generously. Place right side up on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer tomatoes to serving platter. Drizzle with pesto.
