Cheesy Baked Tomatoes

It is the beginning of the first week after finals and goodness I am glad it is over. Most of my friends graduated or are graduating in the coming weeks so CONGRATS to all graduates!! I figure I should take it easy now that I have some what of free time at least until the 30th when summer classes start, it's okay I'm prepared I already ordered my book so I can read ahead...nerd much? Sadly, yes, shush.

Last week I explored a cookie recipe, it was awful, my mistake not the actual recipe. Ugh I don't even know what happened but I will try to perfect it BIG time sometime soon I hope, I've been wanting to make them for some time now. I posted a picture on twitter if you'd like to see some hardcore evidence of such cookie fail. I think things began to go wrong because I deviated from the recipe and started getting ideas about how I could make it my own, this typically works about 98% of the time, but for this time it was a fail. Oh well there's always next time.

Now, I found this cheesy baked tomato recipe and I couldn't imagine why I hadn't thought of it already. Like, how simple: you stuff tomatoes with cheese and bake them and voila! I mean come on these days there's nothing that hasn't been stuffed with cheese!

Great as a side dish, or snack.  
Cheesy Baked Tomatoes

   Ingredients
  • Tomatoes (as many as you'd like, I used two)
  • Parmesan cheese (I used grated)
  • Cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • Oregano (pinch)
  • Olive oil (1 drop per tomato half)
Directions

Cut tomatoes in half and with a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Pour in Parmesan cheese into tomato, stuff tomato with cheddar, as much as you'd like, but preferably to the top. Grab a pinch of oregano and crush with your hand over the tomatoes, just a little over each one. Place tomatoes onto a baking dish. Finally add 1 drop of olive oil over the top of the entire tomato. Once they are already prepped turn oven on to 450F and bake for 15 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and cheese is melted!

Who doesn't love cheese?
Look how melty they are...go make some, you'll want to eat two tomatoes.
 Bake with love :)
