Golden Goats Cheese Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Unfold a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it lightly to an 11 by 11-inch square. Using a 6-inch wide saucer or other round object as a guide, cut 2 circles from the sheet of puff pastry, discarding the scraps. Repeat with the second pastry sheet to make 4 circles in all. Place the pastry circles on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium to low heat and add the onions and garlic. Saute for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are limp and there is almost no moisture remaining in the skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the wine, and thyme and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Remove from the heat.
• Using a sharp paring knife, score a 1/4-inch-wide border around each pastry circle. Prick the pastry inside the score lines with the tines of a fork and sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan on each round, staying inside the scored border.
• Place 1/4 of the onion mixture on each circle, again staying within the scored edge. Crumble 1 ounce of goat cheese on top of the onions. Place a slice of tomato in the center of each tart. Brush the tomato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper. Finally, scatter 4 or 5 shards of Parmesan on each tart.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. The bottom sheet pan may need an extra few minutes in the oven. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Slice off the tops of 4 large beefsteak tomatoes; scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Fill each tomato with 1 ounce crumbled goat cheese. Combine 1/2 cup panko, 2 tablespoons each olive oil, grated Parmesan and chopped parsley, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 teaspoon each fresh thyme and grated lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; sprinkle on the tomatoes. Bake at 450˚ F until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, thyme, red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash with a fork or potato masher until tomatoes are juicy. Stir in the Parmesan. Set aside while the pasta cooks, or up to 2 hours at room temperature.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• To the bowl of tomatoes, add the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water. Stir until the cheese is mostly melted. Add the pasta and stir vigorously until the noodles are well coated. Add more pasta water as needed until the sauce coats the noodles. Season to taste with additional Parmesan and red-pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Use a small, sharp knife to remove the tops from the cherry tomatoes, and reserve for serving. Using a small teaspoon, remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Trim the bases of the tomatoes so they sit flat.
• Combine the goat's cheese, single cream, toasted pine nuts and chopped basil leaves, then season. Spoon mixture inside each tomato and top with extra small basil leaves. Replace the reserved lids and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Place onions in a steamer and cook for 20 mins, or until tender.
• Meanwhile, put the garlic and olive oil in a shallow flameproof casserole dish or large frying pan. Gently cook over a medium heat for 1 min, taking care not to let it colour. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, sugar and half a can of water. Simmer for about 10 mins until thickened, then season. Nestle the onion halves, cut-side down, in the sauce and simmer for 5 mins more.
• Transfer to a baking dish if you need, sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and goat's cheese, then bake for 20 mins, until bubbling and golden.
