These are great!!! I made them last night for dinner, and as I really dislike beefsteak tomatoes I used Roma as that's what I had lying around the house. I also am out of Italian seasoning so I just used Rosemary and that was just fine. I have butter at home, but omitted it from the recipie as I wanted to keep these fairly low in fat, not to mention I dislike rich food. These were so tasty. I cooked them for 15 minutes and served them with cous cous! I am looking forward to eating the rest of them for lunch today.

I love tomatoes and this dish just made them even tastier. I made these as a side dish for a BBQ. They have simple ingredients and directions of the recipe was so easy to follow. Only change I made was I used regular large tomatoes as I haven't seen any beefsteaks tomatoes in my area. Thank you MISSIB
