Sometimes the simplest dishes can be the best. Nothing fancy, but oh so delicious!
Don’t you just love a dish that turns out even better than you had imagined? And not only that, it’s literally no trouble to make, screams summer time and makes a perfect side dish to almost any meal.
We had my mom over for Mother’s Day and we grilled steaks……I had stopped at the Farmers Market the day before and picked up the most delicious looking tomatoes and wondered what they would be like if I sliced them up, sprinkled them with a little mozzarella, parmesan and fresh basil and popped them in the oven for a bit.
They were even better than I had imagined!!
You can certainly change these up by using other cheese, like Queso fresco with the parmesan would be amazing I’m sure! Fresh rosemary or oregano would be another option in-place of the basil. You really can’t go wrong here.
These little gems were such a big hit at dinner, I had to make them again a few days later for myself for lunch! These Cheesy Baked Tomatoes stood up perfectly for a light summertime main course. Can you imagine these on your next burger?! I’m planning to try that next!

These are amazing, but I prefer to put the basil on after baking so it doesn’t look burnt and is more flavorful.
