Parmesan Tomatoes

This is totally not my picture:


 But it's pretty much what this recipe comes out looking like.

It's a tasty, tasty side dish. Or lazy lunch, as my babies will attest to.

We grilled them last night, but usually I just make them under the broiler in my oven. Either way, yum. But really, what else could you expect from warm tomatoes and parmesan cheese?

And again, this is a recipe that came out of my head, after eating something like this at Jubilations Dinner Theatre.

Parmesan Tomatoes
3-4 tomatoes, cut in half, with the stem cut out.
3-4 Tablespoons mayo
1/3 c. or more parmesan cheese
sprinkle of basil (used Mom's fresh basil leaves last night...and chopped up 3 really fine...yumm!)
sprinkle of oregano (orrrr.....just use any "Italian Seasoning" spice mix)
salt and pepper to taste

Smear the stuff on tops of tomato halves, seed side. (You can take a slice off the bottom of the tomato, too, so they sit flat for you). Grill them under the broiler until the tomatoes are heated through and the cheese is either browned, or just melted-ish... (Exact science, here).

Serve warm, with a fork.

Last night, I also topped with a little feta cheese. It totally worked, baby.
