Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place tomato halves on top. Drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil and salt, then bake for 12 – 17 minutes. Take out of the oven and set aside. While tomatoes are roasting, mix softened cream cheese with mozzarella and ¼ cup parmesan. Stir in fresh basil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper – mixing well to combine. Place the tomatoes at the bottom of a baking dish, top it with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan, drizzle 1 tbsp oil on top. Bake for 20 – 22 minutes, or until top is golden and bubbly. Serve immediately with crackers, chips, or toasted crusty bread.
