I call them really really simple to make.  Someday I'm going to try them on top of a toasted English muffin.

BROILED SLICED TOMATOES

Tomatoes, each sliced in 4 to 6 slices

Oregano

Mayonnaise

4 slices crumbled bacon for each tomato used

2 ounces per tomato of mozzarella or muenster cheese, sliced or grated

Place tomatoes on baking sheet or foil tray.

Spread a small amount of mayo on each slice.

Sprinkle with oregano and bacon.

Cover with cheese.

Broil 3 minutes or until cheese melts.

sounds good......i do something similar using a cupcake baking tin.

slice tomatoes in half and put each half into a tin.

melt some butter and add a bit of freshly minced garlic (i also add a bit of saffron)

brush the tomatoes with the butter mixture.

sprinkle with a bit of sea salt, freshly ground pepper

sprinkle with parmesan and an italian herb mix.

broil until golden brown on top.

That sounds really good and if that makes your mouth water you might try googling Tomato Pie.  Paula Deens two sons have a new show on Food Network and went to an old country diner and they did tomato pie (savory) looked so good I copied several versions of recipes for making.  Planning maybe on Labor Day week-end.

I made tomato pie for dinner last night, it was delicious!

@Lynneuk - Would you share your recipe for Tomato Pie?  I'm picturing it as kind of like a quiche, but I've never tasted a tomato pie.  I don't think I've ever seen one on a restaurant menu even.

HoneyBit, I use Paula Deens recipe so just google Paula Deens Tomato Pie. If I knew how to do links I'd do it but I'm useless with technology,lol!

The only difference I make is that I use half as much mayo and cheese as she uses and I add a little garlic powder to the mayo mixture. Also I think she leaves the basil leaves whole and layers them with the tomatoes whereas I chopped the basil and added it to the mayo.

The key to this recipe is draining the tomatoes well, I even remove the seeds too. Otherwise it will be too wet. Let me know if you try it. We are having the leftover pie tonight with fresh corn and beets that we got this morning at the farmers market.

Made zucchini bread for dessert too!

I've seen a lot of recipes for tomato pie.......some with egg as a binder for the mayo and other ingredients and some without.  Agree that getting liquid out of the tomatoes is probably important.

You all definitely have me interested in making a tomato pie, but the recipe choices are so vast, I don't know which to select.

@Lynneuk  Thanks.  I looked up Paula's recipe, and I appreciate the notes about your changes.  This time of year I have a hard time thinking of tomatoes as an "ingredient" -- they are so delicious just on their own.  For the same reason, I've always had a hard time with the concept of "Fried Green Tomatoes."  Seems like a crime to pull one green when it turns into something so wonderful with a little more time on the vine.  Of course, it may have started with the rush to use up the last of the tomatoes before frost finishes them off.

@novamc1  That's the beauty of this forum.  We get a chance to ask fellow recipe lovers for their favorties and their dislikes when we're trying to decide on a recipe.  I sympathize with the responses of "Google is your friend," but nothing replaces the personal "Well, I really like this version except I changed ....." 

Your "Registered" date indicates you're new here.  Welcome to the Recipe Forum.  It's in a little chaos right now -- the recent big format change seems to have scared off a lot of veteran posters.

HoneyBit.........I"m not as "new" here as the info you've seen would indicate.  I was a victim of a post-website-enhancement move by the QVC webmaster.  I actually first registered on QVC forums in 2010 under the nickname of novadc.
