Baked Cheesy Basil Tomatoes
Recently my parents bought enough tomatoes to feed a small village and didn’t know what to do with them, so they dropped some off. Frankly, I didn’t know what to do with them either. When in doubt, fry it or sprinkle with tons of cheese. So I chose the healthier option and was pleasantly surprised. It tasted like pizza without the crust and makes for a quick and easy appetizer.
Ingredients:
4 tomatoes, halved vertically
shredded cheese
1 tsp chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Scoop excess pulp out from tomato halves.
Line baking sheet with foil. Place tomato halves on baking sheet (cut-side up).
Sprinkle tomatoes with cheese, chopped basil, salt and pepper. Finish off with a drizzle of olive oil.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes.
