Roast Cherry Tomatoes and Feta

Submitted by AdriMicina

"This is a very simple but tasty and light recipe I just put together because I had tons of cherry tomatoes in the kitchen, my mother and I had it for supper and thought it was worth sharing, hope you like it too! We had it on its own, but it could be served on a bed of greens, as a side dish for grilled meat or fish, or even used as a pasta sauce...just use your fantasy!"

This was very flavourful. Used the fresh cherry tomatoes from my garden and a mixture of fresh & dried herbs, the only problem was that the feta didn't seem to melt for me just stayed crumbly but I did use low fat Feta so maybe that had something to do with it. A great tasting side dish!!!

I LOVED this - picked the cherry tomatoes and the herbs from the garden, skipped the bread crumbs. I served it over fine spaghetti, and it was just sensational. Very attractive on the plate as well. This is a terrific recipe, and my husband thinks I am a kitchen genius tonight.

I love tomatoes fixed just about any way and this combination of herbs, cheese and roasting was absolutely fabulous. I used feta cheese that had mediterranean spices added in, so that was a bonus, along with the other spices from the recipe. After roasting till almost done, I broiled them for a couple of minutes...very good recipe...Thanks!!
