Broiled Tomatoes With Feta
- 2 red ripe tomatoes (medium to large)
- 13 cup feta cheese, crumbled (more or less to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 12 teaspoon dried oregano
- 14 teaspoon dried basil
- 12 teaspoon lemon juice
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 1 tiny pinch dried lemon peel
- Heat oil in a small skillet.
- Toss in garlic and saute for about 2 minutes on medium heat, then add lemon peel, oregano and basil and saute for another minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and salt.
- Set aside to cool.
- While the oil is cooling wash and remove the stem from the tomatoes, then slice into 1/4 inch slices.
- With a pastry or basting brush, coat a baking sheet lightly with some of the oil.
- Lay out the tomatoes on the baking sheet, leaving a half inch between them.
- Brush the tops of the tomatoes with more of the olive oil mixture.
- Top each with a sprinkle of feta.
- Discard the excess oil, or store in air tight container and use to dress garlic bread later.
- Broil on high for about 5 minutes until heated through.
- Don't put it too close to the broiler.
- I put mine about 8" away.
- The feta may start to brown,(it tastes great that way), but don't let it burn.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately.
