Parmesan Baked Tomatoes
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.
Ingredients
Cover a baking sheet with
parchment paper.
Wash the tomatoes and dry them with a
paper towel. Slice the tops off and discard.
Slice each of the tomatoes into 3 thick slices.
Place the tomato slices
on the baking pan.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt,
pepper and dried basil.
Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan
Cheese evenly on top of the tomatoes.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the cheese.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for
5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted
and a light golden color.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

This really looks good and appears easy to make. Even a klutz like me can accomplish this
I doubt you are a klutz! But yes, anyone can make this simple side dish….or meal as I did.
LOL
These look so good! I’m going to have to try these! I love tomatoes. 🙂
Thank you Michelle they are very good!
Excellent post…. but John is not a fan of tomatoes.. 🤪
Aw but I understand that. I am like that with peppers! I made these for myself and ate them all myself….lol Great lunch for you.
But! Peppers are good! lol!!
I have never been able to eat them. Can’t even stand the smell. However….wait until you see what a good wife I was today. Check out tomorrow’s post!
I’m chomping at the bit lol!
I’ve wanted a good tomato recipe that would work for both me and my husband. I’m doing this one tonight. Looks delicious!
This is my favorite way to fix store bought tomatoes. I can’t stand to eat them otherwise. When I make them this way they taste just like I picked them from the garden.
They look so delicious! I need to make some!😊
Thank you! They are so tasty and easy.
Hi Diane,
This is not so bad… frozen food can be tasty and healthy too. Pizza is not healthy but sometimes it’s good to cheat a bit !
Enjoy !
Looks really nice anyway !
Have an excellent evening,
Jessica
Thanks Jessica!
Simple & delicious I bet!
Erica it tasted amazing! So much flavor you can’t even tell the tomatoes were store bought. Thanks!
Simple recipe & delicious tomatoes, just cant wait to try these!
Thanks Megala they are so good!
Would have never thought of this! Easy to make too. I’ll def try it sometime soon 🙂 God continue to bless those hands!
He certainly does….every day! I know he continues to bless you!
Yes! Such a wonderful talent to obtain! 😀 Amen!! You too.
Aw thanks! Bless you!
They look so appetizing, Diane. Thank you for this suggestion. We usually buy a tray of tomatoes at Costco, and at times have trouble eating them all before they go bad. This is a great way to turn them into a quick meal!
You are welcome! They are amazing! Thank you!
These look delicious and healthy!
Yes they are and so filling! I never dreamed they would fill me up like that. Thanks!
These look tasty and they look like mini pizzas!
They taste amazing! Change the basil for oregano for more of a pizza flavor.
Yum!
Thanks you I love these!
I think I would as well!
Clever meets yummy for a fun evening!
I really love the idea and way you present this to us. Thank you so much for sharing this 🙂
These look absolutely scrumptious! So simple to make too. Nice one Diane!👍🏼😊
Wow, yummylicious!😍
One of my FEW healthier recipes…lol
They look delicious. I would happily eat all of those😊
It was a great meal! Thank you!
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?
