mmmmmm!!! I made this while Mike and the kids were gone, since they don't like tomatoes. Truth is Ive made it 6 times for me so far!!
I found this recipe on A YEAR OF CROCKPOTTING. It is a wonderful website! (In fact, today she was on the Rachael Ray show! And I can say I "knew" her at the beginning) http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/search?q=tomato+goat+cheese
Tomatoes with Goat Cheese
2 large or 4 medium ripe tomatoes
3 Tb balsamic vinegar (I've used pomegranate and raspberry)
1 log of goat cheese (I've used plain and herb flavored. Both are great!)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 Tb sesame oil
Swirl the vinegar on the bottom of the crockpot
Slice tomatoes into thick slices
slice the goat cheese into the same amount as there are slices of tomatoes. (If it is too squishy put it in the freezer for about 30 min or use dental floss to get a better slice.)
Put the goat cheese on top of the tomatoes then add to the crockpot. ( you can slightly stack them if needed.)
Sprinkle salt and pepper on top
Sprinkle the cranberries over the tomatoes
Drizzle the sesame oil evenly over everything.
Cover and cook on high 1-2 hours or until the goat cheese is melted.
However, do not over cook or the tomatoes will be stewed and too soft. (learned this from experience. Still was yummy, but very soft.)
I had some left over so the next day I put them on some toasted french bread and it was wonderful!
Once I added some sliced onions on top of the tomatoes before the cheese, and it was yummy also!!
by the way, that was not my picture, it is from the Year of Crockpotting website.
