EASY BROILED TOMATOES
I went out to my garden this morning and found so many tomatoes that I thought I would make one of my favorite dishes that takes no time at all to make. I could eat all that I made, but I shared them with my neighbor and her husband. She called to tell me how much they both liked them.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes. This will ensure that they broil evenly and have the best flavor.
- Slice the tomatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
- Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil. This will help them brown and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will enhance their flavor.
- Broil the tomatoes on high heat. This will help them caramelize and get a slightly smoky flavor.
- Keep an eye on the tomatoes while they are broiling. They can burn quickly, so it is important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are done.
