One thing I have become obsessed with is sliced tomatoes with cheese on top broiled in the oven so it's melty and delicious, and it has been made even better with our home grown tomatoes and my dad's homemade pesto. There are two varieties for the recipe: healthy and more healthy.
Ingredients-
1 to 3 tomatoes, cut into 1/2 in slices
3/4 cup non fat ricotta cheese (healthy) or Tofutti cream cheese (healthier)
1/2 cup grated extra sharp cheddar (healthy) or 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (healthier)
Pesto
Salt and pepper
First, slice the ends of the tomatoes and then slice the tomatoes in 1/2" thick slices and lay on cookie sheet (covered with aluminum foil)
Next, mix together the soft and shredded cheeses of your choice and season with a little salt and a lot of pepper
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture onto each slice
Top the scoop with a dollop of pesto
Put the sheet under the broiler (set to high) and keep an eye on the slices. It should take about 8 minutes, but make sure to watch it and pull it out when it gets bubbly and brown, otherwise you may burn them.
Eat and enjoy!
It will look similar to this,minus the bread, and the pesto will be on top
