Gooey cheese on falling apart grilled tomatoes - just heaven! Yesterday I taught a cooking class at the Davis Food Coop titled: Quick, Local, Vegetarian. All the dishes could be made in 30 minutes or less with ingredients produced within 100 miles of Davis - and of course they were vegetarian. This recipe was one of the five I did in the class yesterday. It's an easy, yummy side dish for those end of the season tomatoes. I used parsley here, but you could use just about any herb you have on hand or are growing, including, basil, rosemary or thyme. I took the pictures during the class. Sorry there are only a few - I didn't want to take up too much class time snapping shots of the food!
