Grilled tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They can be grilled in the oven, on the stovetop, or even on a campfire. The high heat of the grill caramelizes the tomatoes' natural sugars and brings out their smoky flavor. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory. Grilled tomatoes can be served with a variety of toppings, including cheese, pesto, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and herbs. They can also be used as a pizza topping or in salads, pasta dishes, and sandwiches.

QUICK OVEN ROASTED TOMATOES RECIPE
Tomatoes, tossed with garlic, fresh thyme, and spices, then roasted in a high-heated oven until super tender and bursting with intense, concentrated flavor. There are so many ways to use up roasted tomatoes--as a delicious side; tossed in pasta or soup; or served bruschetta-style on top of your favorite toasted bread. Heck, you can serve them with homemade pita chips.

GRILLED TOMATOES
I make this at least once a week. Tomatoes are even better for you when they are cooked. It enhances their nutrition. Since my husband's heart attack last year, I serve him lots of tomatoes. I have done these on the grill and in the toaster oven (when it's too cold outside to cook) and I have made it so many different ways, by changing the type of cheese I use to actually hollowing out the tomatoes and stuffing them with the ingredients. When I make them, I usually sprinkle a little home made chili powder on his because he likes his spicier, I like mine just plain. (I didn't add the chili powder in the recipe as it's a home made blend of whatever peppers were growing in our garden last year that I dehydrated and ground up) Sometimes, we have had these with no other cheese except for the feta and it is still very good. Just adjust the recipe to your likings and see what you can come up with!

Steps:
- Wash the tomatoes. Cut them in half.
- Mix together the basil, oregano, pepper, parsley. (and garlic if you are using the dried stuff).
- On the cut surface of the tomatoes, sprinkle the herb mixture(add the garlic now if using fresh).
- Sprinkle the feta cheese on top and top with the grated cheese if using.
- Place on a preheated to low temperature grill or in toaster oven.
- Grill or cook for about 10 - 15 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove the tomatoes onto a plate. (They will be soft, so be gentle so as not to squish them!).
- An alternative cooking method is to loosely cover them with foil to make removal from the grill a bit easier. I wrap the foil up around the tomato so it has a "handle" at the top.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300*F. Spread out the tomatoes in a large shallow pan (a sheet pan is ideal) and sprinkle with the other ingredients, turning to coat them with oil. Bake 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours, basting and turning the tomatoes several times. They're done when their color deepens to dark scarlet and they taste mellow and very rich. Don't let them brown, and don't allow the garlic to brown, it'll turn bitter.
