Broiled Feta And Sausage Tomatoes Recipes

BROILED FETA WITH GARLICKY CHERRY TOMATOES & CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack in the top position. Place the feta in a small (1-quart) baking dish and set aside.
• Heat the oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers.
• Scatter the tomatoes around the feta and broil until the feta is softened and browned on top, 3 to 4 minutes (but keep an eye on it as broilers vary greatly.) Serve warm with bread.

BROILED TOMATOES WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, and place, cut sides up, on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper to taste, Italian seasoning, and feta cheese. Drizzle evenly with 1/4 cup Italian dressing.
• Broil 3 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or just until cheese starts to brown.

ORECCHIETTE WITH BROILED FETA, PEPPERS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with 7 tablespoons of the olive oil, the mint and 2 tablespoons of the oregano; season with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
• Preheat the broiler. Roast the peppers under the broiler, turning, until charred. Transfer to a plastic bag and let steam for 15 minutes.
• Peel the peppers, discarding the cores, ribs and seeds; cut the peppers into 1/4 -inch strips.
• Brush the feta with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, sprinkle with pepper and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of oregano and broil until golden on both sides.
• Broil the sausages, turning, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil.
• Cook the pasta in a stockpot of boiling salted water until al dente.
• Drain well, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the tomatoes; add the pepper strips. Slice the sausage, crumble the feta and toss both with the pasta; add some of the cooking water if the pasta seems dry.
• Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

BROILED FETA AND SAUSAGE TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place tomatoes, cut sides up on baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine sausage, panko, feta cheese, and oregano; stir in olive oil. Spoon sausage mixture evenly on top of each tomato half. Broil tomatoes 5 inches from heat, for 6 minutes or until lightly browned.
