1 T Balsamic Vinegar OR: Red Wine Vinegar
1 clove Garlic
1/2 t leaf Basil, crumbled

1/4 t Salt

Recipe

Stir together oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper flakes in medium-size shallow dish. Add cheese slices, overlapping slices, if necessary, and turning to coat completely with oil. Cover and refrigerate
at least 30 minutes.
Preheat broiler.
Make 3 equally spaced vertical cuts in each tomato, starting from bottom and not cutting all the way through tomato. Insert a cheese slice into each cut. Place tomatoes in shallow flame-proof baking dish. Brush with any remaining marinade.

Broil tomatoes 6 inches from heat until cheese is melted and lightly browned and tomatoes are heated through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Pour any pan juices over tomatoes before serving.
