by juliane kania – This quick recipe only calls for a few items and just about half an hour of your time (3 mins of prep, the rest is oven time) and let’s not forget….it tastes delicious. Yummy “cheesy tomatoes” can be used for a side dish or an appetizer. We chose to use daiya dairy free cheese instead of shredded mozzarella. I for one am a total cheese head. Love the cheese!! My point is, that daiya really does taste like cheese. So those of you who prefer a dairy free diet, here is your answer. Those of you who want to use shredded mozzarella, that is fine as well. Another idea; If entertaining you can use grape and/or cherry tomatoes and toothpicks to pick them up. We used 2 large ripe tomatoes (serves 4) for a magnificent side dish. Follow our instructions below and I promise you will likey
