This is such a beautiful and delicious dish! There were no cherry tomatoes to be found in the store so I bought grape tomatoes for this recipe. They were like a little burst of flavor in every bite! This is a delightful way to serve tomatoes. I loved the mealted parmesan on top. Thank you so much for posting! I know I will be making this one again!

Had these for a side with our meatloaf, love parmesan and it and parsley always seems to complement tomatoes!! Nice touch finishing under the broiler!! Very good, thanks for a keeper, Yooper.
