- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 2 large firm tomatoes (I just use the largest reddest ones I can find)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped (1/2 Teaspoon dried)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (1 teaspoon dried)
- 1⁄4 cup reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar are what I've used or you can try swiss but then omit the feta)
directions
- Wash the tomatoes. Cut them in half.
- Mix together the basil, oregano, pepper, parsley. (and garlic if you are using the dried stuff).
- On the cut surface of the tomatoes, sprinkle the herb mixture(add the garlic now if using fresh).
- Sprinkle the feta cheese on top and top with the grated cheese if using.
- Place on a preheated to low temperature grill or in toaster oven.
- Grill or cook for about 10 - 15 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove the tomatoes onto a plate. (They will be soft, so be gentle so as not to squish them!).
- An alternative cooking method is to loosely cover them with foil to make removal from the grill a bit easier. I wrap the foil up around the tomato so it has a "handle" at the top.

I'm a mom and I love to cook. Started cooking when I was 20, and found I love to do it! I love to experiment with new stuff all the time, and I hate prepackaged foods and recipes that use them, so I always try to figure out the ingredients on my own to copy a recipe. I just don't think that opening a can of baked beans and adding something to it makes for homemade beans!!)
My husband had a heart attack last year at the age of 39! So now, we try to eat a lot healthier. I am always looking for ways to get more veggies into him. In my recipes, I never add salt, but I post it here cuz I know most people still like the taste. It takes a while, but you get over it when you cut it out of your cooking. We don't even have a salt shaker anymore. Poor guests!
I love that when I post something here, I can see the nutritional breakdown so I know what he can and can't have. I've printed all kinds of recipes that I've found here and made up a heart friendly cookbook for us.
