Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes
Parmesan broiled tomatoes are quite literally the perfect bite of summer. Salty, nutty from the cheese paired with the slightly sun sweet tomato.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes about 2 pounds, core removed and sliced in half at the equator
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley for topping
Instructions
- Adjust the oven rack so that it is about 6 inches from the broiling element. Preheat the broiler. Oil a large baking sheet and place the tomatoes cut side up on it. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top with cheese. If desired, sprinkle a little more pepper over the cheese.
- Broil the tomatoes, watching them carefully to make sure they are not burning, until the tomatoes soften a bit and the tops have browned, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
