Here’s a fast and easy recipe for broiled tomatoes.
We are harvesting several cups of cherry tomatoes every day. A couple of Early Girls are ripening each day and it won’t be long before we pick our first Roma tomatoes. When we are over run with Early Girls and Romas, I make and can spaghetti sauce and salsa. I freeze a lot of our cherry tomatoes, but when I run out of room in the freezer, I broil them with fresh herbs and top them with cheese. Then I sit back and watch as my kids make a cookie sheet full of cherry tomatoes disappear.

I'm definitely trying these! My cherry tomato plants have been very productive this year. I only have 3 container-grown plants so I don't have as many tomatoes as you do, but enough that I've been looking for a new way to serve them!

I've been looking for a recipe to use up extra cherry tomatoes (but not from my garden! At least I have good friends with big gardens!)These look yummy!

Looks amazing! I didn't plant any cherry tomatoes this year for some reason. But this recipe might be worth buying some at the Farmers Market just to try it!
