Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches & Stuffed Tomatoes

I've been slacking quite a bit since coming back to the US (not on the cooking, just on posting photos and recipes), but here is a quick one to take a little break from bar studying! :-)

Stuffed tomatoes ingredients:

- 2 tomatoes (I used vine because they are my fave)

- 1/8 cup olive oil

- 1 minced garlic clove

- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

- 1/4 tsp. black pepper

- 3/8 cup of cheese (pref. parmesan or gorgonzola)

- 3/8 cup of bread crumbs

Stuffed tomatoes instructions:

1. Pre heat oven to 375 degrees

2. Cut the tomatoes in half and use a spoon to take out the seeds

3. Place the tomatoe halves face down on a papertowel to let the water out

4. Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl

5. Coat the tomatoes in the mixture and let it sit for maybe 10 minutes

6. Mix bread crumbs and cheese in a separate bowl

7. Stuff tomatoes with bread crumb & cheese mixture

8. Drizzle left over olive oil mixture

9. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes!

Smoked salmon tea sandwich ingredients:

- 1 stick of unsalted butter

- 2 garlic cloves

- 1/4 tbs. dill

- 1/4 tsp. lemon juice

- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

- 1/8 tsp. black pepper

Smoked salmon tea sandwich instructions:

1. Slice up maybe 4-5 pieces of bread into 4s (if you have french bread laying around I would imagine it would be even better, but I just used sandwich bread that I had)

2. While your tomatoes are in the oven, pop the bread into the oven to toast

3. Mix all of the ingredients with a hand mixer or food processor (or by hand if you like to work hard)
