Recipe - Heirloom tomatoes with Goat cheese

This recipe is fantastic when you use fresh from the organic garden heirloom tomatoes like Brandywine or Prudens Purple. Mmmmm, warmed from the sun, fresh tomatoes from the garden, nothing is better!

Tomatoes with Goat cheese
4 fresh tomatoes, halved and seeded
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 oz soft goat cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
pinch or two of fresh chopped thyme
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 minced garlic clove

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil cookie sheet or baking sheet
Place cut tomatoes on cookie sheet, with the cut side facing up. Season with salt and pepper to taste, I like to go kind of easy on the salt.
Blend cheese with bread crumbs in small bowl, add thyme. Divide evenly over the top of the tomatoes, bake about 20 minutes till warmed thoroughly.
Meanwhile, while the tomatoes are baking, in another bowl whisk together the oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Season with just a little bit more salt and pepper.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven, let stand about 7 -10 minutes then place on a serving plate, drizzle with the oil/vinegar/garlic mixture and enjoy!!
