BAKED PARMESAN TOMATO SLICES
This is wonderful to make with your garden-ripe summer tomatoes! To save time prepare the mayonnaise mixture up to a day in advance. Since we love lots of spice, I use Tabasco brand spicy brown mustard but any brand brown mustard will do for this recipe, I also add in a pinch of cayenne pepper too! Recipe can easily be doubled.
