 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4       lg           Ripe tomatoes
    1/4   c            Butter or margarine
    1/2   c            Grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4   c            Finely chopped parsley
  1       T            Dried oregano leaves

 1. Wash tomatoes and pat dry. Cut tomatoes in half crosswise.
 Place cut-side-up in a shallow, heat-resistant, non-metallic,
 baking dish.
 2. Dot each tomato half with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
 3. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Top each
 tomato half with some of the cheese mixture. Heat, uncovered, in
 Microwave Oven 5 to 6 minutes, or until tomatoes are soft and
 topping begins to melt. Do not overcook as tomatoes will become
 too soft. Serves 4 to 8
 Variation: If desired, dry seasoned bread crumbs may be
 substituted for all or part of the Parmesan cheese.
