Baked Garden Tomatoes with Cheese Recipe

Baked Garden Tomatoes with Cheese Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 3/4 pounds fresh vine-ripened or heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 cup (packed) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (packed) freshly grated Romano cheese
  • Two more ways to go: Add chopped fresh basil leaves and/or small cubes of mozzarella cheese. Or use yellow and green tomatoes with the red ones to add summer color.
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil 11×7-inch baking dish. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix in chives; season with salt and pepper. Transfer tomato mixture to prepared baking dish; sprinkle grated cheeses over. Bake until cheese melts and begins to turn golden, about 20 minutes.
