Wash and dry the lemons. Top the lemons and cut into approximately 1.5 cm thick slices. Scoop out the flesh and place the rings on baking paper. Cut the mozzarella, basil, anchovy fillets, and tomatoes to fit inside the lemon rings and fill them in one at a time. Season and cover with mozzarella. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 10 minutes (they’re ready when the cheese has melted). Serve with a good wine and crostini. Note: The lemon rings serve as a container and flavoring agent, but are not to be eaten.
