TOMATO – WARM SLICED WITH CHEESE

This is more a directional on how to put this composed hot tomato than an actual recipe.  It makes an excellent side on a plate for color and variety.

Slice tomatoes about ½ inch thick.  Put a dollop of garlic
herb goat cheese on each.  Spread some grated parmigiano cheese on top.  Place
in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes to warm the tomatoes and melt the
cheese.  I would say, about 5-8 minutes.  Place a serving of greens –
either a leaf lettuce leaf, bibb lettuce leaf, or a little patch of arugula on
the dinner plate (or salad plate if you are serving this as a first
course).  Sprinkle the slice with some pine nuts and drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top.  Lay a few strips of grilled or roasted red pepper on top for garnish.
