Ingredients
- 2 large tomatoes
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- 3/4 cup fresh shredded parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- fresh ground pepper
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450° F
- Cut the tomatoes into slices, approximately 1/3 to 1/2 -inch thick.
- Place tomato slices in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Season with kosher salt, then top with parmesan, mozzarella, basil, and pepper. Lightly drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender and the cheese is melted. Then switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese. Don’t overbake, or the tomatoes will become mushy.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve!
Notes
Sprinkle tomatoes with a little Italian Seasoning blend before adding the cheese for even more flavor
Try these baked tomatoes with a little drizzle of balsamic glaze when serving.
Swap kosher salt for garlic salt or smoked sea salt.
