Tomatoes With Basil and Creme Fraiche image

If you can't find creme fraiche (I find it in the deli section of the super market, near the specialty cheeses), you can use sour cream. Serve as a side dish or on top of grilled meat. Also good on crusty bread as an appetizer. When you have some cold and left over, put them on top of a salad.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons butter
4 large tomatoes
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
7 ounces creme fraiche (or sour cream)

Steps:

  • In a cast iron frying pan, or at least a heavy one, melt the butter. Cut the tomatoes in half and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Over a low heat, cook the tomatoes, cut side down, for about 10 minutes. (The butter should foam and turn light brown, if it starts getting too dark, your heat is up too high).
  • Turn the tomatoes over and add the creme fraiche.
  • Leave to heat for 2 more minutes. Stir in the basil. Adjust the salt and pep, and serve.

I added a bit of garlic and onion to the tomatoes and it was even better.

This is a simple but delicious recipe. I used fresh basil from my garden and it really made the dish.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The creme fraiche helped to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes. I made it with cherry tomatoes and it was delicious.

This recipe is a real winner! The tomatoes were perfectly roasted and the basil and creme fraiche added a delicious touch. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a hit with my family.
