Please be patient, as this blog is a work in progress. I am actively searching for and adding more recipes so check back frequently and make yourself familiar with the labels/categories below on the right side of the page.

ITALIAN BROILED/GRILLED TOMATOES



Ingredients:
4 large ripe firm tomatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup finely shredded Italian blend cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan Romano cheese blend
2 tbsp finely minced fresh basil
Garlic salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Wash and dry tomatoes. Slice into thick 3/4 inch slices. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Place on broiler pan, or tin foil, if grilling. Sprinkle tops generously with garlic salt and black pepper. Broil, or grill, 1-2 minutes. Turn tomato slices over and sprinkle with garlic salt and black pepper once more. Combine Italian cheese blend and Parmesan Romano cheese blend and divide between tomato slices. Sprinkle tops with basil and continue to broil, or grill, until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.

Notes: This recipe works best in the broiler, because you can brown the cheese on top, but it can be fixed on the grill with good results.
