This simple dish fancies up the way tomatoes are commonly used, and it can be prepared and cooked in the simplest way possible. So, the next time you have your friends or family over, wow them with this appetizing side dish: Baked Parmesan Tomato.
Here's the recipe
Ingredients:
• 4 tomatoes, halved horizontally
