Yield:
Serves 4Ingredients
4 large, firm tomatoes, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 heaping teaspoons herbed Boursin cheese
Instructions
1. Slice the stem and blossom ends from the tomatoes and discard. Cut them in half horizontally to form 2 thick slices. Using a serrated grapefruit knife, carve out a shallow depression about 1-1/2 inches in diameter in the center of each slice.
2. Brush both sides of each slice generously with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place, depression side down, on a hot grill. When the slices soften, turn them over and place a teaspoon-size dollop of Boursin cheese in each depression. Continue grilling until the cheese is soft and hot. Serve immediately.
