Creamy Basil-Topped Tomatoes Delight

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Very tasty and so easy to prepare. Makes a wonderful side-dish, especially for meat or fish that doesn't have a lot of sauce. I was surprised at how well the creme fraiche went with the tomatoes. used the low fat variety to reduce the calories. The only thing that puzzles me is why the recipe is called 'baked' tomatoes when it's all done in a frying pan!
