This warm, cheesy side dish pairs tomato and basil with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese—a match made in heaven if there ever was one! Serve it with chicken, steak, or fish.

Ingredients

    4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
    3 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup)
    1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil leaves
    2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    1 garlic clove, minced
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 400° F.

Scoop out the inside of each tomato half with a melon baler and roughly chop the scooped pulp. Combine tomato pulp, mozzarella, basil, Parmesan, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Place tomatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Spoon in tomato mixture and bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Enjoy

    The fresh basil makes this taste like a real treat. Made me want to save up my calories and just eat all 4 servings, but I had to share with my kids! - 3/26/14
