Ingredients
- 2 large Tomatoes
- 100 grams Gouda cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 optional Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler and position a rack about 4 inches below the heat source.
Step 2
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set them aside.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or grate them.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned oil.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the surface with a bit of olive oil.
Step 6
Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Using a pastry brush or a spoon, evenly distribute the seasoned oil mixture over each tomato slice.
Step 8
Grate the Gouda cheese or slice it thinly, depending on your preference. Sprinkle or lay the cheese evenly over the tomato slices.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges of the tomatoes start to caramelize. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 10
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomato slices cool for 1–2 minutes.
Step 11
Optional: Garnish each slice with a fresh basil leaf for added flavor and visual appeal.
Step 12
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or light snack.
