This is a really good recipe. I did use the stovetop Skillet suggestions, and to be honest, I don't recommend it. I think it would have been better if I had put it in the oven after placing the tomatoes on top. I know that is what I will do next time. I will also add a little parmesan cheese to the top of the tomatoes in the last few minutes of cooking. To me, this recipe was even better the next day for lunch.....so every one enjoy!!!!!
