Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients, including ripe tomatoes, sandwich bread (such as whole wheat or sourdough), mayonnaise or olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional toppings like fresh basil or mozzarella cheese.
Prepare Tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes into thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Make sure the slices are uniform for even cooking.
Preheat Broiler: Preheat the broiler in your oven to high heat. Place the oven rack in the highest position to ensure the tomatoes are broiled quickly and evenly.
Prepare Bread: Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler for a few minutes until they are lightly golden brown. This helps to prevent the bread from becoming soggy when topped with the tomatoes.
Season Tomatoes: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise or olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice.
Broil Tomatoes: Arrange the tomato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly charred around the edges.
Assemble Sandwiches: Once the tomatoes are broiled, place them on top of the bread slices with the Parmesan mixture. Optionally, add fresh basil leaves or slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the tomatoes for extra flavor.
