TOMATO, FRESH FIG AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD



Tomato, Fresh Fig and Blue Cheese Salad image

Whether you get them from your backyard garden or the local farmers' market, tomatoes are one of summer's sweetest staples. In the kitchen, one of the best things a cook can do with a surfeit of ripe summer tomatoes is not to cook them. With such tasty beauties available (and given the tomato-pleasing heat), salads make more sense. Start simply by slicing big tomatoes into rounds and cutting smaller ones into wedges and the cherry and grape varieties in half. Very gently toss them with fresh herbs, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and good salt. Use whatever you've got to hand to dress up the pile. Here, we've used some crumbled blue cheese for tang, fresh figs for sweetness and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts for crunch.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED TOMATOES

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pint grape tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup blue cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
4 slices crispy cooked bacon, finely chopped
1 tablespoon hot honey (or 1 tablespoon honey mixed with a dash of hot sauce)

Steps:

  • Slice the top third (stem side) off each tomato. Cut a small slice off each bottom so that the tomatoes are flat and able to stand up. Using a melon baller or small spoon, remove the inside of each tomato to hollow out the center. Place the tomatoes on a plate or platter. Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Mash the cream cheese in a bowl with a rubber spatula until it is soft and malleable. Gently fold in the blue cheese, being careful not to overmix and break the blue clumps. Season with pepper. Use two small spoons to fill the tomatoes with the blue cheese mixture. (How much will depend on the size of the tomato; small tomatoes should get about 1 teaspoon of the mixture. You can also transfer the mixture to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag with the corner cut off and pipe the cheese mixture into each tomato.)
  • Toss the chives and bacon together in a small bowl. Top each tomato with the mixture. Drizzle hot honey over the entire plate. Serve.

HEIRLOOM TOMATO & BLUE CHEESE TART



Heirloom Tomato & Blue Cheese Tart image

Easy & stunning. I recommend using a drier tomato sauce or paste type tomato like Costoluto Genovese or Jersey Devil as the big beefsteaks can release lots of juice (yummy juice) that can overly moisten the tart. Half Maytag Blue & half mild soft chevre is also really nice in this recipe.

Provided by Busters friend

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed according to package directions)
6 ounces blue cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon whole milk (or half-and-half)
2 -3 medium tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a circle a scant ¼-inch thick and about 10 ½ inches in diameter. Transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Pat into the bottom and sides and trim the edge so it's even with the rim. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, using a fork, crumble the cheese and mash together with the milk, starting with ½ tablespoon, until the consistency is spreadable but still has some lumps. May need up to 2 Tablespoons. Set aside.
  • Slice tomatoes about ¼-inch thick. Blot with paper towels to remove most of juices; set aside.
  • Remove pastry from freezer. Bake until light golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool about 15 minutes.
  • Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the pastry. Cover with the tomato slices in a tightly packed single layer. Sprinkle with the pepper and thyme and drizzle with the olive oil.
  • Bake until the crust is deeper golden brown and the tomatoes have collapsed, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let stand for 20-30 minutes before serving.
  • To serve, gently slide a knife around the edges, then remove the bottom and place the tart on a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or room temperature.
