I received a large container of the most perfectly beautiful cherry tomatoes in my CSA box last week. I don't usually eat cherry tomatoes as they have a bigger gel to flesh ratio and the gel kinda freaks me out sometimes.

I'll eat grape tomatoes all day long, but cherry tomatoes, for me, have crossed that line between easy to pop into the mouth and get the knife out to chop.

I contemplated stuffing the tomatoes with blue cheese and walnuts, but wanted a much easier recipe to go with our dinner. It doesn't get much easier than this recipe.

Halve the tomatoes, mix the cheese, garlic, and parsley then top. Pop under the broiler until the cheese browns. Serve with almost any meaty entree.

Honestly, it doesn't get any better than this.

      Hi Phillip. It's a little hard to give you an exact number as it depends on the size of the tomatoes. There are generally 2-3 large cherry tomatoes to an ounce. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound... 16oz x 2 (tomatoes) = 32 x 2 (halves) = 64. If I divide 64 by 6 servings then each person gets approximately 10 halves. -Kim

    One of my friends gave me a big veggie basket full of cherry tomatoes, and I was wondering what to make with them (besides sauce). I found this recipe on Pinterest and whipped up a bunch. They were so good, I couldn't stop eating them, lol... I will definitely be making them again! Thanks Kim!

      Super! I'm so glad you liked them Alli. I'll admit that they are addicting... It also works for thick slices of tomatoes. Thanks for leaving a comment and letting me know you enjoyed the recipe. Have a great weekend! -Kim
