Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice each one in half horizontally.
Brush the cut sides of the tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Place the tomato halves cut-side up on the grill or a broiling-safe baking sheet if using the broiler.
Grill or broil the tomatoes for about 6-8 minutes, or until they begin to soften slightly.
Carefully remove the tomatoes from the heat and top each half generously with the cheese mixture.
Return the tomatoes to the grill or broiler for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just beginning to turn golden.
Remove the tomatoes from the heat and let them rest for a minute or two.
Garnish each tomato half with a fresh basil leaf before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
