Onion and Parmesan Tomatoes

A great accompaniment to grilled steak or chicken.

Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
Pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions: Preheat broiler. Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Place in an 8 x 10 glass baking dish. Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil about 8 inches from heat for 3 to 4 minutes until warmed through.

Meanwhile, saute onion and garlic in butter until tender but not brown. Place one sixth of onion mixture on each tomato half, sprinkle with thyme leaves and top with Parmesan cheese. Return to broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Serves 6
