Tomatoes with cheese and garlic in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

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 a cheese that retains its shape and does not spread in different directions under the influence of high temperatures. Parmesan, non-salted mozzarella for pizza or other semi-dry cheese, for example, Russian, is ideal. I have parmesan.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into not very thick, but not quite thin circles. Take ripe tomatoes, but strong. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish, and we need the circles to remain intact and preserve their original shape as much as possible. Plum-shaped 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 mayonnaise with garlic passed through a press and mix. Fresh garlic can be replaced with 1/2 tsp dry.

5. Step 5:

   

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

7. Step 6:

   

   Place the tomato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I have siliconized parchment, so I didn't lubricate it with anything in addition. If you have ordinary parchment, it is better to lubricate it with vegetable oil so that the tomatoes do not stick. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.

8. Step 7:

   

   Smear each tomato slice with garlic mayonnaise.

9. Step 8:

   

   Slide grated cheese on top. Put the tomatoes in a preheated 180 ° C oven and bake under the grill for 5-7 minutes until a golden crust appears on the cheese.
