This is my favorite 'tomato-as-a-side-dish' recipe. It adds color to your plate, great flavor, and depending on what crumbs you use, can be low-fat (low-fat cheese works well, too), and can take on a variety of flavors.

Time 7m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium tomatoes
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed oregano
1/3 cup coarsely crushed cracker crumb (or crouton crumbs)
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (reduced fat, if desired)

Steps:

  • Remove stem ends from tomatoes.
  • Cut tomatoes in half horizontally.
  • Trim ends to make the halves stand flat, if necessary.
  • Arrange cut side up on microwaveable plate.
  • Mix crumbs and herbs; mound evenly on tomatoes.
  • Microwave uncovered on high for 2 minutes, rotating after 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top of tomatoes and either microwave 1 minute until cheese is melted, or transfer tomatoes to an appropriate pan to broil in the oven or toaster oven until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.
