Blue Cheese Crusted Tomatoes

These blue cheese crusted tomatoes offer a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetarian side dish, perfect for summer entertaining. By roasting the tomatoes over an indirect heat on the barbecue, the fruit softens beautifully without losing its shape, while the sharp, salty blue cheese melts into a rich sauce beneath a golden, olive oil-infused breadcrumb crust. Use ripe, vine-on tomatoes for the best results, as they provide a natural sweetness that balances the bold tang of the cheese.

Ideal for outdoor dining, this simple recipe serves as a fantastic accompaniment to grilled vegetable skewers or a fresh seasonal salad. Whether you are hosting a garden party or looking for a quick midweek starter, these savoury tomatoes provide a burst of Mediterranean-inspired flavour with minimal preparation. They are naturally light yet satisfying, making them a versatile choice for any alfresco menu.
