Cherry Tomato and Goat Cheese Appetizer

Cherry tomatoes will be ripe soon. Here's an easy recipe sent in from our extended Farm Friend Family. Thanks, Deborah!

Ingredients:

1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 dashes salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (can use smoked olive oil for a hint of smokiness)
1/4 cup red onion or green onions, finely chopped
8 oz crumbled goat cheese
rice crackers (original recipe called for frozen mini pastry shells)
finely chopped herbs to taste (chives, Italian parsley, e.g.)

Preheat oven to 400. Wash and dry cherry tomatoes. Mix them with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Put on a baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes, until softened and skins start to split. Cool for 5 minutes.
Mix thinly sliced onion, goat cheese, herbs, and roasted cherry tomatoes. Mound on rice crackers. Can top with a fresh cherry tomato quarter.
