My sister and I stayed in an Airbnb last weekend, which boasted a huge vegetable garden on the property. The host invited us to pick whatever we wanted. In addition to bowls full of blueberries and blackberries, which we ate while we were there, we both took several juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes home. After using one or two of these crimson gems on sandwiches, I had several leftover and this baked tomato recipe was the perfect, quick and easy way to take full advantage of them.
