Return to oven for 2 1/2 more minutes. Remove and serve.
cook's notes
I was hungry for bruschetta and didn't have any good bread. So I decided to use tomatoes as my canvas. Baking them just once with all the fixings obviously wouldn't work because the cheese would burn, and the tomatoes would not get soft enough.
Doing it in two steps worked like a charm. I used it as a side dish but it also works great for an appetizer. Depending on the size of your tomatoes, times and amounts will vary. The times I have work only for the Roma type tomatoes.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
