I was initially hesitant to try this...I mean really, just tomatoes and cheddar? But, boy, was I surprised. Somehow, such simple ingredients transformed into something truly magical. I made this two days in a row and gobbled it up myself each time. So. freaking. good. I used a big, beautiful beefsteak tomato and a mature, aged cheddar. I also added a clove of thinly sliced garlic with the tomatoes as well as eggs with the cheddar at the end. Topped with parsley and *chef's kiss*!
Oh, and definitely be generous with the salt and oil, y'all — you'll be thanking yourself.

A tomato season favorite. Best tomatoes, and best cheddar. Added a little jalapeno for heart. Simple and straightforward to make.

I’ve made this all summer long with gorgeous local early girl tomatoes. A big ol’ hunk of bread with the skillet right on my lap was the scene. I didn’t even share!

I made this recipe and it is just yummy. I added a large very thinly sliced garlic clove and 10 thyme sprigs right when I put the tomatoes in. I used Jasper Hills Melting Cheddar and it was perfect. I served with grilled marinated olive bread, will make this again for sure. Next time I will try adding some anchovies on top at the very end. This recipe would be wonderful in a wood fired oven.

Yes to the garlic! I made this last night and it came out great. I brushed some sliced sourdough bread with olive oil and toasted it under the broiler briefly, then rubbed with a big clove of garlic. I broke up the remaining garlic and tossed it into the pan with the tomatoes to cook a bit before the cheese went on top. The bread was great with the cheesy tomatoes.
