Tomatoes 1: Grannie Annie's Tomato Toast

'Tis the season when even we gardeners of  Tiny Gardens have counters overflowing with tomato-y bounty.


In the next couple of posts, how we're using our fresh tomatoes. I just harvested another 8 ripe beauties, so please share your favorite recipes in comments! I'm getting desperate here.

 Grannie Annie's Tomato Toast

Tom's mom sometimes makes this when we visit and it's now a family favorite at our house. It's a great breakfast or lunch snack that an older kid can make on their own. James (11) will ask for it, and even Milo will eat a serving.

1. Slice ripe garden tomatoes and arrange on a cooking sheet (if broiling or using a toaster oven) or microwaveable plate.
2. Sprinkle lightly with your choice grated cheese. 




3. Broil or microwave until cheese is melty and tomatoes warm (about 2 minutes on high in our microwave)
4. Scoop onto toasted whole wheat bread.

  1. throw on some julienned basil or oregano and you're getting close to pizza. I wonder what would happen if you put fresh tomato and herbs and sliced mozzarella onto some pizza dough. never tried with fresh tomatos
