Tomatoes with cheese and garlic in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make tomatoes with cheese and garlic in the oven? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. It is better to take cheese that retains its shape and does not spread in different directions under the influence of high temperatures. Parmesan, unbrined mozzarella for pizza or other semi-dry cheese, such as Russian, are ideal. I have Parmesan.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into not very thick, but not very thin slices. Choose tomatoes that are ripe but strong. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during the cutting and cooking process they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish, but we need the circles to remain intact and retain their original shape as much as possible. Plum and pink tomatoes are ideal - they are sweet and fragrant.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the cheese on a medium grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the garlic passed through a press and stir. You can replace fresh garlic with 1/2 tsp. dry.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the dill, dry and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, parsley, cilantro, green onions, or use a mixture of different herbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place tomato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. My parchment is siliconized, so I didn’t additionally lubricate it with anything. If you have regular parchment, it is better to grease it with vegetable oil so that the tomatoes do not stick. Salt and pepper the tomatoes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Lubricate each tomato slice with mayonnaise and garlic.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place grated cheese on top. Place the tomatoes in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake under the grill for 5-7 minutes until the cheese has a golden crust.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle chopped dill on top of the finished tomatoes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Transfer the hot appetizer to a plate and serve immediately. Bon appetit!

Great appetizer "Tomatoes with cheese and garlic in the oven"! I really liked its simplicity and quick cooking method. I used to make this appetizer, but only raw. More precisely, just tomatoes in circles, mayonnaise and grated cheese on top - that’s how it was served. But after seeing this cooking option, I also wanted to try baking it. I made a warm appetizer for meat. Incredibly fast and easy. I cut the tomatoes into slices and placed them on a plate. I didn’t add salt or pepper, as the mayonnaise and cheese are quite salty. Spread 67% mayonnaise on top and sprinkle with grated cheese. I chose gaisin cheese, it melts perfectly and is very tasty. Well, since I had meat in the oven, I put the plate with the appetizer in the microwave on the grill rack for 5 minutes at 600 W. Decorated with dill) Done! A stunningly light, tasty and very beautiful appetizer. It not only decorates the table, but perfectly complements the meat, and is also incredibly tasty! Thanks to the author!
