Step 1: Pour boiling water over tomatoes, in a small bowl, and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and discard water (or use in soup). Chop tomatoes.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray with nonstick cooking spray a standard 9x5 loaf pan.
Step 3: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 4: Whisk butter in a separate bowl with the buttermilk and the egg.
Step 5: Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. Gently stir and fold the chopped tomatoes, cheese and herbs until all the flour has been incorporated and a wet batter is formed. Be careful not to over-mix.
Step 6: Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and pat it into the corners.
Step 7: Bake for 45-50 minutes. When finished, the loaf should be and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
