Notes
Beautiful, ripe tomato halves or slices are brushed with a tangy mayonnaise topping, baked, and then broiled right before serving.
Ingredients
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise or into 1½-inch-thick slices. Place cut side up in a single layer in an ovenproof baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, chives, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture on top of each tomato, spreading to cover the top. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake until hot, 10 to 12 minutes; the time will depend on the size of the tomato slices or halves. Turn the oven to broil, move the tomatoes to the broiler, and brown until glazed and bubbling.
6. Remove from the oven and garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately.
