Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven Broiler:
Start by preheating your oven broiler. This ensures that it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to broil the tomato. -
Prepare Tomato:
Carefully slice off the top 1/2 inch of the beefsteak tomato. This creates a flat surface for the toppings. -
Add Butter or Margarine:
Spread the tablespoon of butter or margarine evenly over the top of the tomato. This adds richness and helps the toppings adhere. -
Season with Cheese and Oregano:
Sprinkle the tomato generously with parmesan cheese and oregano according to your taste preferences. These ingredients provide a burst of flavor and aroma. -
Place on Aluminum Foil:
Set the prepared tomato on a small square of aluminum foil. This makes cleanup a breeze and helps keep the tomato stable during broiling. -
Broil:
Transfer the tomato to the preheated oven broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. -
Serve Hot:
Once the tomato is nicely broiled, carefully remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving plate. Serve immediately while it’s hot and bubbling with flavor.
