Pleasantly surprised. I did add a little onion which I think it needed, shallot for a mild flavor. I also did them in tomato halves. Cut the bottom off so it stayed up right and then scooped out the halves. I really enjoyed it. Roasting the tomato halves for just a minute seems to help a bit just to soften lightly.
