Baked Parmesan Tomatoes

4 tomatoes, halved horizontally
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. fresh chopped oregano (or dried if fresh is not available)
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
4 tsp EVOO




*Basil to taste

 

Preheat oven to 450.

 

Combine Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt and pepper, *basil. 

 

Place tomatoes cut side up on a baking sheet.  Top with Parmesan mixture then drizzle with EVOO. 

 

Bake in oven til tomatoes are tender, approx. 15 minutes.

 

*I added basil, the original recipe does not call for it.

 

***I am the only one in my household that eats tomatoes so I am always looking for new ways to enjoy them.  This is definitely a recipe I will be using quite often.  Especially during the summer when fresh tomatoes are available. 

 

I found this recipe on Pinterest but it originated from 4peatssake.com.  The picture above is also from that website, I do not take credit for it.
