Parmesan Baked Tomatoes
Earlier this week, I went out to dinner with a friend who ordered a steak. While the steak looked wonderful, what caught my eye was what was served alongside it. On the plate was a large slice of a beefsteak tomato with a golden-brown cheesy crust on top. While I couldn’t sample the tomato for the obvious gluten reasons, I was inspired. The next night, I made Parmesan Coated Tilapia (check out the recipe here: https://glutenfreegalsguide.com/parmesan-coated-tilapia/ ) and didn’t have side dish planned. I used the previous night’s inspiration to create these amazing parmesan baked tomatoes. The result was a great side dish that can also be served as a snack or appetizer. Check them out and let me know what you think.
