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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into thick, even slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Discard the tops and bottoms.
Step 3
Arrange the tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomato slices.
Step 5
Sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the tomatoes to season them.
Step 6
Top each tomato slice with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it covers the surface but doesn’t overflow too much.
Step 7
Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden on top.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish the tomatoes with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
