Tomato Cup Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Take the tomatoes and slice em up.
  3. Lay the slices on a baking tray and lightly salt.
  4. Now, mix together 4 Tablespoons of sour cream, 1 Tablespoon of minced garlic, a couple handfuls of cheese, and the basil.
  5. I used fresh basil from my mother-in-laws garden.
  6. You can use a chopper, or you can look really cool and use a butcher knife.
  7. Even if you have no clue how to chop stuff with one, thats OK.
  8. There is only one rule when it comes to using this knife, do not chop off any fingers.
  9. Follow this rule, and youll be fine.
  10. When it comes to garlic, you can use fresh garlic bulbs or store bought minced garlic.
  11. The store bought is easier to measure and use.
  12. The great thing about this cheesy mixture is you can suit it to your tastes.
  13. If you like a lot of sour cream, pile it on.
  14. If you like a lot of cheese (like me) keep throwing it in by the fistful.
  15. Mix all this stuff together in a bowl.
  16. Now comes the fun part.
  17. Get out that canister of biscuits and open that sucker up.
  18. Take out a biscuit and tear it in half.
  19. Do this to each biscuit.
  20. Roll each half into a ball and flatten with your hands.
  21. Then place it in the bottom of a muffin pan.
  22. Reserve the other halves for later.
  23. Now you will want to place the sliced tomatoes on top of the dough.
  24. Next, add the cheese mixture.
  25. OK, remember the other halves of the biscuits?
  26. Place them on top and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  27. By now, your oven should be preheated to 350 degrees F. Put these puppies* in the oven and let them cook for 15-20 minutes.
  28. As long as you dont burn them, youll be OK.
  29. *No puppies were harmed or used, and even though my dog gets on my nerves by barking, I would never throw her in the oven.
  30. Now you are ready to serve!
  31. Scoop em out onto a plate and serve with a fork or spoon.
  32. Dont worry if they break apart when you serve them.
  33. I must say that these are scrumptious.
  34. They remind me of something a nice bistro in Charleston would serve.
  35. Very southern and very good.
  36. A great summer time treat.
  37. You could serve them as an appetizer, or as the main course.
  38. Try it out and tell me what you think.
