STUFFED TOMATOES with GARDEN HERB CHEEZE CRUST


Today I made you STUFFED TOMATOES with GARDEN HERB CHEEZE CRUST. This recipe makes a great appetizer or dinner and can be made the day before and taken to work or school.



It is made of ripe juicy tomatoes filled with a stuffing of spring onion, red and yellow bell pepper, parsley, basil and red apple and covered with a crust of my garden herb cheeze (click here for the garden herb cheeze recipe) . As a dressing, I made a spicy tahini tomato sauce.


This recipe is easy to prepare and can be modified by using other seasonal veggies, using a different or no cheeze to keep it low fat and making a different dressing. I think these tomatoes do not only look delicious, but are perfect to share with friends and family.
