For a refreshing Easter lunch appetizer, fill small vine tomatoes with your favourite fillings. I've chosen aromatic provencal flavoured breadcrumbs with herbs and garlic. There is no good cuisine without good oil and there is no Provençal cuisine without garlic. Rest each filled tomatoes on a bed of puff pastry disc and baked them until puffed and golden.
This is a super easy appetizer recipe that I found in Ricardo’s Entrees and Appetizers archives, but tweaked mine a bit by using small vine tomatoes. You can try to improvise yours with different kinds of tomatoes and fillings or just based on what you have at home.

  • 200 g Store-bought fresh puff pastry dough
  • 9 Small vine tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tbsp Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp Butter, softened
  • 2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
  • Olive oil
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the fresh puff pastry dough and cut out 9 dough discs with a 5cm/2inch fluted cookie cutter. Save the trimmings for other use and arrange the discs on the baking sheet, leaving 5-cm/2-inch between each discs. Cover and chill while preparing others.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Using a knife, make a small cross-shaped cut in the bottom of each tomato. Place the tomatoes in boiling water for 10 seconds. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Peel the tomatoes. Slice a small slice off the bottom and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, place breadcrumbs, softened butter, finely chopped garlic, and herbs. Stir until well combined. Spoon the filling into the tomato cups. Place a tomato cup on the centre of each puff disc. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the filling into the tomatoes. Bake for about 25 minutes.
  4. Drizzle each serving with olive oil. Season with pepper. Serve as an appetizer or as a side dish with Provençal-style roast chicken or leg of lamb.

These are so cute! The puff pastry is a great idea to hold in any juices from the tomato when you bite into it.

[Reply]
Anonymous 9/4/12 16:12

Quick question. Could you just slice the tomatoes and layer them on the pastry with a sprinkle of filling on top in lieu of boiling and peeling each one? Is it better to have a whole tomato in each one?

Thanks!

[Reply]

@Anonymous It's not absolutely necessary to use the peeled tomatoes. So, sure you can use beef tomato halves just like original recipe.
