Sliced Tomatoes Baked With Parmesan Cheese

With just a few simple ingredients and 15 minutes in the oven, you have a wonderful and delightful looking side dish. I believe I got this recipe from a book called Gluten-Free by Michael Cox.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  large tomatoes (firm, but ripe)
• 1⁄2 cup  freshly grated parmesan cheese

•  olive oil, for greasing
• 1  tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
•  black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease a baking pan or cookie sheet with olive oil.
3. Thickly slice the tomatoes and place them in a single layer on the greased pan.
4. In a small bowl make a paste by combining the parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil and chopped parsley. Season paste with a few shakes of black pepper.
5. Spread the paste evenly over each tomato.
6. Bake for 15 minutes (top rack) until the tops are golden brown and bubbling.
