Easy Meal: Tomato-Cheese Toastie

Today I would like to share a very simple recipe with you. It is a delicious, light vegetarian meal that even non-vegetarians are sure to love, mainly because it features one of everyone's favorite foods on the planet - cheese.

I like to call this a Tomato-Cheese Toastie.

Imagine - you are sitting at home and you are light on ingredients, but want a delicious meal. This is where The Ramen Ninja steps in.

I'm going to show you how to make a meal using two very basic ingredients: tomatoes and cheese.

What You'll Need:

1 preheated oven set to broil 500F degrees.
1 oven-safe pan
1 spatula
1 plate

Ingredients:
1 hamburger bun or 2 slices of sandwich bread
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp olive oil
1 tomato - sliced
2 slices of Mozzarella cheese (or whatever kind you have on hand)
mayonnaise
salt
pepper
garlic powder
paprika
Italian seasoning

Step 1:
Preheat the oven and lay out your bun open-faced on the pan.

Step 2:
Toast the bun in the oven for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Step 3:
Spread the mayo onto the bun.

Step 4:
Place one slice of tomato on both halves of the bun.

Step 5:
Put one half teaspoon of balsamic vinegar on top of each tomato slice.

Step 6:
Sprinkle a small amount of each of the above seasonings: salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning. A little goes a long way here because you are using so many different seasonings - so just a pinch of each will do.

Step 7:
Put one half teaspoon of olive oil on each slice of tomato.

Step 8:
Finally, lay one slice of cheese on top of each slice of tomato and put your sandwich open-faced back into the oven.

Step 9:
Allow the sandwich to toast in the oven for 3-4 minutes. It is done when the cheese starts bubbling.

Step 10:
Remove the sandwich from the oven and serve onto a plate using a spatula. Enjoy!
