Baked Tomatoes with Sherry and Cheese

These tomatoes come together in minutes, the sherry gives them a great twist. Campari tomatoes are sold on the vine and are available year round . Nothing will replace a perfect summer tomato, these are the best for off-season. I got my inspiration from a local church cookbook from the ’70’s full of treasured recipes – still good, decades later.  I served them on top of a simple green salad.

6 Campari tomatoes
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 ounces shredded cheese – I used Monterey Jack

• Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees
  Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds
  Place on an aluminum foil lined pan
  Sprinkle with sherry
  Mix the mayonnaise and the shredded cheese
  Divide the cheese mixture among the 12 tomato halves
  Bake for about 25 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft  and the tops are  lightly brown and bubbly

Ready for the oven
