• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
• 4 roma tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a broiler according to manufacturer's recommendations. Line a baking sheet or small sheet pan with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Slice tomatoes in half crossways. Slice thin slices off of the round part of the tomato halves so they will sit straight on the pan.

Step 3

Place tomato halves on the prepared pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.

Step 4

Place seasoned tomatoes under the broiler and broil about 4 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully, so they won't burn.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese on each tomato half, and return to the broiler.

Step 6

Broil until Parmesan cheese is melted and bubbly, 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 7

Transfer broiled tomatoes on a plate or serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
