Dinner was on my own last night because my husband had to work. The grandkids like frozen pizza so I decided to take a break from cooking and give them pizza. (Yes occasionally I am a bad grandma and give them frozen food) I decided to make these Parmesan Baked Tomatoes and I ate them all myself! They only take a few minutes to prepare, a few minutes to bake and they taste fantastic! Serve them as a side dish with a meal, an appetizer or use them as your meal like I did.

  20. Sounds good to me. I have a real Italian pizza maker but have to admit it does frozen pizza better. Also can do most flapjack dishes in this electric oven too. High temp and fast cooking. Make my own freeze it and use in switched on over 4 minutes from hot and busy all day it can save so much time and all love these real Italian pizza. Will do the cheese tomato next time in this oven and set on stone bake should be good.Thank you .I do not think you are bad for using frozen pizza some of bought bases are that good when cooked who cares?
