Serves 3

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3              large  plum tomato -- halved lengthwise
     3/4      teaspoon  kosher salt
                        Freshly ground black pepper
  1         tablespoon  extra-virgin olive oil
  3        tablespoons  fresh herbs -- such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, or marjoram
  4        tablespoons  parmesan cheese -- freshly grated

Season tomatoes with the salt and place seed-side down on a rack or paper towel to drain for about 30 minutes. Blot dry with a paper towel.

Position an oven rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil. Place the tomato halves on the prepared pan, seed-side up, season with pepper to taste, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle herbs over the top. Broil until hot and the tops begin to brown, about 8 minutes.

Top with cheese and broil until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Serve 3 halves per person.
