Recipe Monday - Cheesy Tomato Slices

Today I'm coordinating a huge project on Facebook. If you support women's rights in Texas, wear orange, snap a pic of your self, and post it publicly on Facebook with the hashtag #fordarlena

I am collecting these for an epic slice of life tomorrow! We can really make a statement if we all pitch in!

Anyway, while I'm doing that, here's one of the best ever recipes I've discovered this summer.

Okay, I know it looks like a pinterest fail, but bear with me. These are the most delicious things you will ever put in your mouth, I swear.

1/2 cup grated Parmesan and Romano cheese blend
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 large tomatoes

Directions
In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.
Cut each tomato into five slices.
Spread each with 1 tablespoon cheese mixture.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Broil 3 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes or until cheese mixture is golden brown and tomatoes are heated through.

Yield: 20 appetizers.
