Tomato Stacks
Serves: 4
Lightly broiled, cheese-kissed "tomato sandwiches" are a treat.
We love them in the summer when the tomatoes are at their very best. Add a few thin slices of
cooked chicken to the stacks for a light main course, or serve these as a side dish with any
plainly cooked chicken, beef, lamb, or fish.

Preparation
Preheat the broiler. Spray the broiling pan with olive oil cooking
spray.
Core the tomatoes and slice each crosswise into 4 even slices. Lay 4 of
the tomato slices on the broiling pan and sprinkle with half the mozzarella and all the
parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with olives and basil leaves and top with the remaining tomato
slices.
Broil about 6 inches from the heat for about 5 minutes or until the
cheese melts.
Remove the broiling pan and sprinkle the top tomato slices with the
rest of the cheese. Broil for about 2 minutes longer or until the cheese melts over the top of
the tomato stacks. Using a spatula, transfer the tomato stacks to a serving platter and
drizzle each with about 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar.
