Cheese Tomato is a delightful and easy-to-make dish that combines the fresh sweetness of tomatoes with the rich, creamy texture of melted cheese. Whether you’re craving a savory snack or looking for a simple appetizer, this dish is the perfect go-to. It’s delicious, comforting, and can be made in minutes, making it an ideal choice for busy days when you want something indulgent yet easy to prepare.

Ingredients for Cheese Tomato

  • 2 large ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of both)
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp mixed herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley leaves (for garnish)
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, minced (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions to Make Cheese Tomato

  1. Prepare the tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thick slices, around 1/2 inch thick. You should get 6-8 slices from two large tomatoes, depending on their size. Remove any seeds if you prefer a less watery texture.
  2. Cook the tomatoes: Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they start to soften and get a light golden color. You want them slightly cooked, but still holding their shape.
  3. Add garlic (optional): If you’re using garlic, add the minced garlic to the pan after flipping the tomatoes. Stir it around for about 30 seconds, allowing the garlic to infuse into the tomatoes without burning.
  4. Season the tomatoes: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, mixed herbs, and chili flakes (if using) over the tomatoes. Stir gently to coat the slices evenly with the seasoning.
  5. Top with cheese: Now, sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the tomato slices, covering them evenly. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Let the cheese melt and become bubbly, which should take around 3-4 minutes.
  6. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and golden brown, remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley leaves for a burst of color and added flavor.
  7. Enjoy: Serve the Cheese Tomato hot, straight from the pan! It’s a perfect snack on its own or can be paired with a crisp salad or garlic bread for a fuller meal.

Why Cheese Tomato is So Special

Cheese Tomato is a versatile and comforting dish. It’s so simple yet packed with flavor, offering a perfect balance of the tanginess from the tomatoes and the rich, creamy texture of melted cheese. The addition of mixed herbs elevates the taste, while the optional garlic adds an aromatic layer.

Not only is it a crowd-pleasing snack, but it’s also a great way to incorporate more tomatoes into your diet. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like lycopene, which is great for heart health, while cheese provides calcium and protein.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cheese Tomato

  • Choose the right cheese: Mozzarella works wonderfully for its meltability, but you can mix it with cheddar for a more robust flavor.
  • Add veggies: You can load the tomatoes with extra vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach before adding the cheese for a more filling dish.
  • Make it spicier: If you love spice, feel free to add a dash of hot sauce or more chili flakes to kick it up a notch.
  • Use a broiler: For an even crispier cheese topping, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two after melting the cheese.

Serving Suggestions

Cheese Tomato can be served in various ways:

  • As a standalone snack or appetizer.
  • Paired with a fresh salad or soup.
  • With crusty bread or garlic toast for a more substantial meal.

This simple, quick-to-make Cheese Tomato recipe is sure to satisfy your cravings while offering a deliciously cheesy treat. Enjoy making and devouring this cheesy delight!
