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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a better roasting texture.

Step 3

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tomato halves cut-side up.

Step 4

Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil, making sure each half gets coated slightly. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Sprinkle them evenly over the tomatoes.

Step 6

Crumble the gorgonzola cheese into small pieces and divide it among the tomato halves, placing a generous amount on each.

Step 7

Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the tomatoes for an earthy herbal aroma.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or on top of toasted bread for a delightful bruschetta-style treat.
