Herb Crusted Caprese baked tomatoes

Servings: 6 (depending on the tomato size)

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large tomato
• 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/3 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella
• fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Slice tomato into thin, equally sized slices.
2. Place dry oats in a small non-stick skillet and toast over medium heat until slightly browned (about 3 minutes). *Watch the oats carefully so they don’t burn.*
3. Once cooled, place oats in food processor with dried basil and oregano and grind into a crumb-like texture.
4. Top each tomato slice with oat mixture and cheese. Bake in oven for 7-8 minutes. Place under the broiler for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese lightly browns. Top with fresh basil if using and serve warm.
