WOW!Beth, the Petite Tomato & Basil Gouda Fondue was fabulous, from back in March!! I made three to serve what I thought were 6 people but two more showed up and it was perfect! (IMHO 1 was not enough for 4-6 people.)
I added some cayenne pepper, fresh cracked pepper, and a little garlic salt. Everyone asked how hard it was to make and I smiled!! Of course I will be sharing the recipe today with all of them. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe!! http://harrythecat.com/Graphics/h/tomato1.gif

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 7 oz whole Gouda cheese
2 small Roma tomatoes -- (about 4 oz total)
1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 small baguette -- sliced and toasted

Remove coating from Gouda; carefully scoop out center of cheese leaving a 1/4 inch thick shell. Set shell aside.

Coarsely chop scooped out cheese and place in microwave safe bowl; mix in tomatoes and basil.

Cook, uncovered, in a microwave at half power (50%) for 1 minute. Stir, then continue cooking at half power, stirring every 20 seconds, until cheese is bubbling, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer.

Set cheese shell on a plate. Surround with baguette slices. Pour cheese mixture into shell, pushing into corners to fill shell and accommodate fondue. Serve hot to scoop onto toast; cut up warm shell to eat. Makes 4-6 appetizer servings.

Glad you liked it. I think the number of servings was as an appetizer, so if you made it a main course, I would think the number of serving would be half, give or take a little. Loved the dancing tomato too!
