I am on a low carb diet and I had a craving for Margherita Pizza so I decided to come up with my own twist with all the flavor and none of the carbs. Ingredients:
1 large red round tomato (firm) |
1 -2 teaspoon olive oil |
2 -4 sprigs fresh basil |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Slices tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick or as desired.
3. Place tomatoes on a plate and sprinkle salt over tops of tomatoes and drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes sit aside while you prepare your basil.
4. Tear basil leaves off the stems, make sure you have one basil leaf for each tomato if you really like basil add two leaves.
5. Place tomatoes on a flat non stick cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
6. Top each tomato with basil and a little sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
7. Place cookie sheet in middle rack and bake until edges of tomatoes are crispy and parmesan is completely melted on top. Let tomatoes cool for about 3-5 minutes and enjoy!
8. My husband and I fight over the last tomato slice and you can also use the tomatoes for toppings on quiches or chicken.
