Notes: Green tomatoes have a wonderful tangy flavor. The goat cheese and sage complement them perfectly. A beautiful easy recipe, great way to use up those late season tomatoes and herbs before frost comes. Mix and match based on what you have on hand, but stick to 'fresh tangy' cheeses and herbs as suggested.
