Baked Parmesan Tomatoes
Description
This recipe uses large tomato slices as a base, each topped evenly with a blend of grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. The slices are optionally drizzled with olive oil before baking in a 400°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts and browns slightly. A quick broil may be applied to enhance cheese coloration.
The result is tender tomatoes with a flavorful golden crust of cheese and herbs that provides a contrast in texture. The savory topping enhances the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomatoes.
Baked Parmesan Tomatoes can be served warm as a side dish or a light snack, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for brightness. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days and can be eaten cold or warmed gently.
