Oh please I so went there. And oh boy you’ll be happy when you do. This week the huge tomatoes were on sale for $0.79 per pound so I took it as the perfect chance to A.) Make a HUGE salad {with steak and butternut squash… oh it was good}. And then to make this for lunch this morning {I don’t really eat breakfast… but this works for that too}. It was beyond easy but really flavorful and versatile. I topped mine with two eggs, but you could use it on top of a burger, with some fresh mozzarella, use it for the base of a tomato sauce, endless possibilities. And if you grow your own tomatoes this is a great way to use the ones that might not look that great or a little over-ripe.
Ingredients:
• 2 Large {ish} Tomatoes
• Dried Basil
• Salt + Pepper
• Olive Oil
How To:
• Pre-heat your oven to 375 {F}
• I like to thinly slice off the top of the tomato where the stem is.. totally optional, then slice your tomato into thick slices. I got mine into thirds but you might get four slices out of yours.
• Place slices on a wire rack that’s fitted into a baking sheet, top each slice with a little bit of salt, pepper, and basil. Then Drizzle a little Olive Oil over each slice.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes {I like mine to still have a smidge of a bite so I go the 20 minutes but if you’re using it for a sauce go a bit longer!}
It’s done! Top with whatever the heck you’d like, or just eat as is.
Here’s Mr. Not So Paleo’s Meal:
For Him I did it with English Muffins Pizza Style
{ I just topped a half of English Muffin with Provelone Cheese, Tomato Slice, Little bit of Ketchup, Egg, Salt + Pepper & More Basil. }
Then made him sausages to go with it {I use Jones all Natural that are Paleo for the sausages}
