Broiled Parmesan & Mozzarella Tomatoes

So simple, so yummy and totally veggie!  Tomatoes, cheese, butter, salt and pepper, that's it!  Anyone who has a love for tomatoes will definitely enjoy these.  Earlier in the day while trying to figure out what to add to my vegetarian meal I started thinking about my grandmother and how she would sit out in her yard and eat whole ripe tomatoes like apples!  As a child I always thought it was the weirdest thing, watching her add a little bit of salt to every bite has been a memory that's stuck with me since my childhood.  Now I am huge fan of tomatoes, I can eat a wedge or two here and there, but I can't devour a whole tomato, even if I tried! After running through these memories, I was left with a serious tomato craving, thus this dish was born!
