Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 0.5 cups black olives (pitted and sliced)
- 0.5 cups Romano cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the broiler on high and adjust the oven rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat source.
Rinse the tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice each tomato in half horizontally and arrange them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Drizzle the cut sides of the tomatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle them evenly with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Top each tomato half with an even layer of sliced black olives, then sprinkle grated Romano cheese generously over the top.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly for 2 minutes.
Transfer the broiled tomatoes to a serving plate, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
