Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 0.5 cups black olives (pitted and sliced)
- 0.5 cups Romano cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler on high and adjust the oven rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Rinse the tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice each tomato in half horizontally and arrange them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Step 3
Drizzle the cut sides of the tomatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle them evenly with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Step 4
Top each tomato half with an even layer of sliced black olives, then sprinkle grated Romano cheese generously over the top.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the broiled tomatoes to a serving plate, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
