It’s funny how life is. I remember when I was a kid, I used to absolutely loathe baked tomatoes, to the point where I would actually get so angry with my mother when she prepared them that I wouldn’t speak to her for days afterwords! Â Nowadays I just can’t seem to get enough of them. Sorry about all that trouble, Mum!
These feta cheese stuffed tomatoes are a real pleasure to make and even more of a pleasure to eat. Â I’m a huge fan of feta cheese anyway; it’s the best thing the Greeks ever invented, well, aside from philosophy, astronomy and all of that, of course! Â I particularly love the way the baked tomato and cheese just melts in your mouth when you bite into it.
It’s very important to use the ripest tomatoes you can find;Â they should be a nice deep red colour, not orange or green. If your tomatoes aren’t ripe enough yet, put them in a paper bag in a dark place like a cupboard for a day or two, and they should ripen up quite quickly.
Tomatoes have all types of sizes and flavours. If you prefer bite-sized treats to serve at a party, I recommend these pesto filled cherry tomatoes.

Would blue cheese work as well?
