I like to serve this recipe in a few different ways. First of all, you can serve them as I did as a side dish. Most noteworthy, I exchanged cilantro for basil in the recipe and served them with Mexican dishes.
An alternate method for serving, try these tomatoes for breakfast and serve them over scrambled eggs and goat cheese. No kidding, this combination will certainly wake up your taste buds. It’s very fresh and vibrant!
In addition, you can serve them over soft cheese such as goat, brie, or fresh mozzarella with toasted baguettes slices It makes a quick, easy, and delicious appetizer.

Nutrition
Nutritional information given is an automatic calculation and can vary based on the exact products you use and changes you make to the recipe. If these numbers are important to you, I recommend calculating them yourself.
Join a CSA or something like that if you really want to think about the vegetables first. One thing I really like about ours is that I make it a challenge to use everything I can. Swiss Chard (not my favorite) comes, I try to find a way that I can like it. In fact, I would say that in the summer time, my CSA guides a majority of our meals.
BTW, This looks simple, beautiful, and tasty. YUM!
