Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into thick, even slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Discard the tops and bottoms.
Arrange the tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomato slices.
Sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the tomatoes to season them.
Top each tomato slice with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it covers the surface but doesn’t overflow too much.
Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden on top.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish the tomatoes with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
