I originally got the idea for this recipe from , but I changed it to fit the items I most often have and a method that I feel works better. Ingredients:
2 large tomatoes |
salt & pepper |
basil (fresh or dried) |
1 cup mozzarella cheese |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 400 degrees F.
2. 2. Cut tomatoes into thick slices, and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
3. 4. Salt and pepper lightly, add basil (as much or little as you like) and cook tomatoes for 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
4. 5. Turn off oven. Top tomatoes with cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Allow to sit in hot oven just long enough for the cheese to melt.
