Author Notes
It is always my quest to come up with new ways to eat vegetables and keep a variety coming to the dinner table. Since my kids will eat most of their veggies with cheese on it this recipe came about one weeknight when I had a fridge full of beefsteak tomatoes. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did :-) —Spice it up

2
Large Beefsteak tomatoes sliced thickly into 8 slices

1 cup

Note: Cut the slices of the Tomato thick so they don't melt and loose shape. Use a spatula to spoon them onto the plate before eating to prevent breaking.
