Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe tomato
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic -minced
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (1-ounce)
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler to HIGH (500°F). Position the oven rack 6 inches below the heating element.
  • Slice the tomato in half and place the halves cut side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
  • Spoon the garlic oil evenly over the cut sides of the tomato halves.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  • Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until the tomatoes are heated through and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Notes

  • Use a Metal Baking Sheet: Do not use glass or ceramic under the broiler. High heat can cause them to crack. Use a rimmed metal baking sheet instead.
  • Position the Rack Properly: Place the baking sheet 4 to 6 inches below the broiler element for even browning.
  • Watch Closely: Broiling is fast. Stay near the oven and check at the 3 minute mark to prevent burning.
  • Toaster Oven Option: A toaster oven with a broil setting works well. Broil just until the cheese melts and lightly browns.
