Summer Treats

The first (kind of big) tomatoes from my garden!


I want to share one of my very favorite tomato recipes.
I used to make these with my grandma in her cozy kitchen

Baked Honey Tomatoes

8 medium tomatoes
1/2 c coarse bread crumbs
(I use the Japanese Panko type)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp tarragon
(I like to add a little
herbes de Provence too... to taste!)

4 tsp honey
4 tsp unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Slice off very ends of tomatoes and carefully scoop out seeds (I always have some seeds left inside, but don't worry about it ;)
Place open side up in a buttered baking dish.

Mix bread crumbs w/salt, pepper & tarragon
Drizzle tomatoes with honey, rubbing down the cavities
Sprinkle tomatoes with crumb mixture and dot with butter
Bake uncovered for approx. 30 minutes, until skins begin to wrinkle
Place under broiler for another 4 minutes or until crumbs begin to brown.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

I wanted to share the prettiest little tag
I received from Sandi (she's a lover of tomatoes too)
Click above to be taken to Sandi's blog
and learn about her tags (I think she's posted them
in her Etsy store)

I am still enjoying all the new people
I am meeting from the wonderful
Where Bloggers Create Party
and visiting their blogs while I work on some fun
new objets d'art for my petite store.
