Ingredients:
2 large firm tomatoes ( I just use the largest reddest ones I can find)
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped ( 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped ( 1/2 Teaspoon dried)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic ( 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder)
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped ( 1 teaspoon dried)
1/4 cup reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
1/4-1/2 cup grated cheese ( mozzarella or cheddar are what I’ve used or you can try swiss but then omit the feta)
Directions:
Wash the tomatoes. Cut them in half.
Mix together the basil, oregano, pepper, parsley. (and garlic if you are using the dried stuff).
On the cut surface of the tomatoes, sprinkle the herb mixture(add the garlic now if using fresh).
Sprinkle the feta cheese on top and top with the grated cheese if using.
Place on a preheated to low temperature grill or in toaster oven.
Grill or cook for about 10 – 15 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove the tomatoes onto a plate. (They will be soft, so be gentle so as not to squish them!).
An alternative cooking method is to loosely cover them with foil to make removal from the grill a bit easier. I wrap the foil up around the tomato so it has a “handle” at the top.
