Description

Ripe tomatoes are broiled with a cheesy mozzarella, Parmesan, and crunchy bread crumb topping in this easy side dish recipe.

Ingredients

2 large tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup soft bread crumbs
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 dash balsamic vinegar

Directions

1 Place an oven rack 6 inches from the top of the oven, preheat the broiler, and and arrange tomato slices on a foil-lined baking sheet.
2 Combine olive oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl and brush onto the tops of the tomatoes.
3 Combine bread crumbs, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the tomatoes.
4 Place under the broiler until topping starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
5 Transfer tomatoes to a plate, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve.
