This is so attractive and very tasty. I added a teaspoon of parmesan to the bottom of the tomato cup. The recipe perfectly complimented our Good Friday dinner. I would love to see a whole platter of these broccoli tomatoes on a Christmas buffet table.

This is a wonderful simple recipe. I chose it because it works with blanched frozen broccoli that is thawed. It still retains a very fresh flavor and the simple seasonings in this are just perfect. Very light and satisfying.
