Very easy and very delicious. Serves 4 as part of a big breakfast, 2 if you were just to put them on toast.

Method

Preheat the oven to 220C.

Put the halved tomatoes, cut side up, in a deep roasting tin.

Put all the other ingredients in a jug and blitz with a hand blender, then pour over the tomatoes and bake for 20 minutes until bubbling and starting to brown.

That’s it.
