Broiled Tomatoes with Parmesan Cheese

Substitute other herbs (such as oregano, marjoram, or dill) if you like. These quantities make one serving:


1 large, firm tomato
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ t. crumbled basil (optional)
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese


Halve unpeeled tomato crosswise; sprin¬kle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each half with 1/8 teaspoon basil, spread with 1 teaspoon mayonnaise, and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons cheese.
Broil 7 to 8 minutes about 10 inches from the broiler. (Although the cheese will not brown as nicely, you may also bake these in a 450° oven for about 10 minutes.) Each tomato makes a serving of 2 halves; 1 half can garnish a steak or fish plate.
