Broiled Tomatoes with Smoked Mozzarella


The tomato harvest continues to overwhelm me, so I'm subjecting you to the torture of having to look at plump, ripe luscious tomatoes everyday too. 

1 lg ripe tomato (or enough for 8 1/2 inch slices)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
8 - 1/4 inch thick slices of smoked Mozzarella; (regular mozzarella may be used)

Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place on a baking sheet.
Add a few drops of balsamic vinegar to each slice.
Top with a slice of mozzarella.
Place under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted.
Alternately, bake in a preheated 350F oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Serves 4 to 6
