Ingredients
Tomatoes
- 6 Campari tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes as an alternative)
Toppings
- 3 to 4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, optional, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the tomatoes: Slice the Campari tomatoes in half horizontally around their equator. If you are using Roma tomatoes instead, cut them in half vertically along their length.
- Assemble the appetizer: Arrange the tomato halves on a serving plate with the flesh side facing upward. Evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese on top of each tomato half.
- Add finishing touches: Drizzle each tomato half with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes over them, if you like a bit of heat. Serve immediately for the best fresh flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe, firm tomatoes to hold their shape and maximize freshness.
- Adjust the amount of feta cheese according to your taste preference for creaminess and saltiness.
- Aleppo pepper adds a mild, fruity heat, but substitute with red pepper flakes if unavailable.
- This appetizer is best served fresh and at room temperature to fully enjoy the flavors.
