== Ingredients ==
* 4 oz fresh, mild, soft goat cheese, at room temperature
* 2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh basil
* 2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh marjoram
* 8 large fresh zucchini blossoms
* 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* salt to taste
* 2 cups vine-ripened cherry or other small tomatoes, halved or quartered, or two large vine-ripened tomatoes cut in bite-sized pieces
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 350°F.
# Lightly oil baking sheet or line with parchment paper, and set aside.
# Mix cheese with half basil and half marjoram.
# Form into 8 balls of equal size.
# Inspect blossoms for insects, and snap off pistils inside flowers with fingertips.
# Cut stems to about 1 inch.
# Put ball of cheese inside each blossom, and arrange on baking sheet.
# Brush blossoms with half the olive oil, and season lightly with salt.
# Bake stuffed blossoms for 7 to 10 minutes, or until petals collapse onto cheese and sizzle slightly around the edges.

# Season with salt.
# To serve, arrange salad on four plates, and top with warm blossoms.
