Description

These simple Baked Tomatoes with Cheese are a favorite recipe in the summer and early fall. Once you see how easy this easy side dish is—it only calls for 4 ingredients—you’ll fall in love with them. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Cut tomatoes in half along the equator. Place cut-side up on the baking sheet.
  3. Divide the cheddar among the tomatoes. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and pepper.
  4. Roast until the tomatoes are soft and starting to sag under their own weight, and the cheddar is bubbling and starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cooking Tips:

  • You can add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil to this recipe. Simply sprinkle the basil under the cheese before roasting.
  • If you do not have Italian Seasonings you can substitute dried oregano.
  • Tomatoes that are very large or not super ripe will take longer to bake.
