Broiled Parmesan Tomatoes

(submitted by Cindy Duffy)

3 large tomatoes sliced 1/4" thick

Fresh or Kraft Parmesan Cheese

Fresh grated garlic (I just use the minced from the jar.)

Fresh basil, washed and julienned. (roll several leaves together tightly and slice across)

Extra virgin Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Place sliced tomatoes on a baking sheet. Mix parmesan cheese, garlic, basil and salt and pepper in a bowl and add just enough olive oil to make a crumbly consistency. With fork, put mixture on tomatoes. Broil until browned.

There are really no set ingredient amounts for this recipe. It is easily adjustable for personal preferences and taste. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil leaves.

*Remember that you don't need as much of a dried spice as you do a fresh one.
*I like to use the freshly grated Parm. in a container usually found by the fresh pasta, cheeses, etc. but Kraft is good too.
