Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons optional fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches beneath the heating element.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Drizzle the tomato slices evenly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the tomato slices.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and crumbled blue cheese.
Generously top each tomato slice with the cheese mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomato slices cool slightly, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the broiled tomato slices to a serving plate and, if desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 4 Cheese Broiled Tomato Slices!
