    Grilled Tomato Melts


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3 large tomatoes (about 8 ounces each) or a variety of smaller tomatoes
    (about 1-1/2 pounds total)
    4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (1-1/2 cups)
    1 small green, yellow, purple, or red sweet pepper, finely chopped
    (about 1/2 cup)
    1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut each tomato into 4 slices, about 1/2 inch
    thick. If using smaller tomatoes, halve each one. For each of 4
    servings, arrange 3 tomato slices, overlapping slightly, in a
    foil-lined, 15x10x1-inch baking pan. (Or if using smaller tomatoes,
    arrange in a single layer in a foil-lined, 15x10x1-inch baking pan.)
    Sprinkle with shredded cheese, finely chopped pepper, and toasted
    almonds. Bake about 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Carefully lift
    with large metal spatula to individual plates, allowing excess juices to
    drain off.

    2. Or to prepare on a grill, arrange ingredients as above in a shallow
    disposable foil pan. In a grill with a cover arrange medium-hot coals
    around the edge of the grill; test for medium heat above the center of
    the grill. Place the pan with the tomatoes in the center of the grill
    rack. Grill, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
    Makes 4 appetizer servings.
