Preparation:
Gently pound the tomatoes until flat. Dip the rounds of goat cheese in the olive oil, placing a flattened tomato on the top and bottom of each round.
Wrap the cheese with grape leaves (1-2 grape leaves should cover). Drip some olive oil on the leaves, then grill for 5 minutes on each side.
Serve the cheeses on leaves, using croutons to scoop out melted cheese.
