BLUE CHEESE BROILED TOMATOES

These are fantastic and very easy to make.

Ingredients

• 4 large Tomatoes (I used plum tomatoes, about 7 large)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 tsp salt (I used 1/8 tsp)
• dash pepper (I used more)
• 1 cup soft bread crumbs
• 2 tbs melted butter
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (I used a little more)

Directions

*(Note: I preheated oven to 350 F. Placed tomatoes with blue cheese topping on baking sheet lined with foil, then baked about 5 minutes on lower middle oven rack, until the tomatoes were just heated through. I then turned on the broiler and broiled a few minutes, until the topping was golden brown).

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut stems off tomatoes and cut each tomato into two thick slices (in half). Put on broiler rack.
2. Combine sugar, basil, salt and pepper and sprinkle little of mixture on each tomato slice.
3. Add bread crumbs to melted butter and toss lightly with a fork. Add blue cheese and toss again lightly. Spoon on tomato slices and slip under broiler until crumbs are nicely browned, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
