Smashed Cherry Tomato & Plum Croissants

Smashed Roasted Tomato and Plum CroissantsAs you may have guessed by now, we have had a pretty bountiful veggie crop this year. Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers and an array of fresh herbs were popping up on a daily basis.

Smashed Roasted Tomato and Plum CroissantsI’m not the gardener in the family. In fact, I need to stay away from anything that requires water and nourishment. It’s a miracle my three children survived in my care.

My husband Steve sports the green thumb BUT I like to eat all the provisions that he reaps from his efforts.

Smashed Roasted Tomato and Plum CroissantsWhen he collected the balance of the tomatoes today, specifically these cute cherry t’s, I was itching to make something fun for brunch with them. I also had some magnificent prune plums that I had bought at the market which were slated for a skillet cake….and has yet to happen.

I roasted the tomatoes along with a few of the plums and pulled together this awesome dish for a Sunday morning treat.
