Tomato-Tarragon Toasts

When eating a pasta dinner, I'll throw a slice of bread in the toaster, butter it, and call it a side dish. Not exactly imaginative. But I'm usually too busy chopping, stirring, and simmering to mind. Oh, I'm also quite good at "sampling" the sauce.

Don't worry, I'm usually cooking for one, so double-dipping is totally legal.
But with a little prep work (and by "little" I mean around 25 seconds), these tomato-tarragon toasts make a great accompaniment to pasta. They're also an excellent tongue-twister. Sprinkling a little garlic powder on these would be good, too--but since I could keep Vampires away within a 1,500 mile radius after ingesting garlic, I tend to shy from the ingredient. These easy little toasts are delicious, and I promise your mouth will be too full to try and say "tomato-tarragon toasts" ten times fast.

Tomato- Tarragon Toasts
1/2 hoagie roll or hot dog bun, buttered
1 small tomato, sliced thin
Salt
Pepper
Couple of fresh tarragon leaves
Parmesan cheese
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.) Generously butter one side of the bread and top with sliced tomato. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and layer on the tarragon. Toss on a bit of parmesan cheese.
3.) Bake until golden, or around 8-10 minutes.
