Directions

Start out by washing and halving your Roma tomatoes.

-
Discard guts and lay the halved, gutted tomatoes face down on a clean towel.
-
Chop up your herbs and garlic and mix with the Ricotta cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Next, fill each tomato half with a nice heap of the Ricotta mixture.
-
In a food processor (or if you don’t have a food processor, you can mash in a plastic baggy with a rolling pin) crumble about 15-20 Ritz crackers. Or you can use dried bread crumbs from your favorite kind of bread if you want.
-
Press each ricotta filled tomato half face down into the crackers/crumbs and then place face up on a baking sheet. Drizzle each tomato with a bit of olive oil.
