How to Make Broiled Tomatoes With Cheese

Preheat your broiler.
Cut 2 large tomatoes in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Place tomato halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle each tomato half with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Sprinkle each half with 1/8 teaspoon dried basil.
Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise evenly over each tomato half.
Sprinkle 2 teaspoons shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the mayonnaise.
Broil for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tomatoes are slightly softened. Keep a close eye to prevent burning; you may need to adjust broiling distance depending on your oven (about 10 inches is a good starting point).
Serve immediately as a delicious and vibrant side dish.
