I simply love picking homegrown cherry tomatoes for this purpose… it is not harvesting, it’s rewarding!
INGREDIENTS
1/2 Tbsp refrigerated oatmeal
5 cherry tomatoes
About five pinches of salt
1/8 cup Monterey Pepper Jack cheese, grated, crumbled
1/2 hard- boiled egg, chopped fine
A tiny bit of kale, chopped extra fine
½ slice bologna or other lunch meat, chopped fine
1 Tsp Ranch dressing
1 tsp mustard
1/8 tsp cayenne powder (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. One hour or the night before, mix the oatmeal with a half cup of water or any type of milk. Drain the fluid that is not absorbed prior to mixing with the other ingredients.
2. Cut off just the top of the cherry tomatoes and with a teaspoon remove the seeds and pulp of the tomatoes. Put the seeds and pulp aside if you chose to use them later. Turn the tomatoes cut side down on a paper towel for 15 minutes to drain, then sprinkle a pinch of salt inside each one.
3. Mix all of the ingredients except cayenne and chives. Stuff the tomatoes with this mixture.
4. Sprinkle cayenne powder on the top and serve.
