Baked Parmesan Tomatoes ♥

Oh so simple! Just tomato halves topped with a few ribbons of Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of just-snipped herbs from the garden, oregano on some, chive on the other.

NEXT TIME ... I will ...
  • ... slice a bit off the bottom side of each tomato half, not just the ones that needed help to keep from tipping. Removing a bit of skin also helped the heat penetrate the tomato from the bottom.
  • ... allow about 10 minutes to cool before serving. These got VERY hot!

Mmmm. I'm still waiting for tomatoes though. This week I'm hitting the Farmer's Market and these are on the menu.
My mother-in-law always did this as a casserole: thick sliced the tomatoes, a layer of tomato slices sprinkled with cheese and basil and then another layer. cooked the same as yours.
I've always varied the herbs I have in the garden.
Another great, simple & delicious recipe - thanks, Alanna!
Yum, yum, and so South Beach friendly!! I like Tanna's idea of the layers too.
These look great. I've been doing everything tomatoe these days and loving it. I'll have to try these!
They're adorable and they look soooo good. Might have to whip these up for my girls' night next Friday.
That looks gorgeous and oh so scrumptious! Thanks!!
Now I can't decide whether to make tomato pie or your baked parmesan tomatoes tomorrow. Such decisions...
BAck again to let you know I'm spotlighting this recipe as one of my South Beach Recipes of the Week where I feature South Beach Diet friendly recipes I find on other food blogs. Hope you're having a good Labor Day weekend and not laboring too much!
