1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons grated onion
1 teaspoon fresh dill (heaping) or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4-6 tomatoes
paprika

Instructions

In a bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, onion, dill, salt and pepper.
Slice tomatoes in 1/2 inch slices. Arrange on a broiler pan.
Broil tomatoes for a few minutes or until the begin to soften.
Remove tomatoes from oven; top with a spoonful of the sour cream mixture; sprinkle with paprika.
Return the tomatoes to the oven, and continue to broil until golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

This is a great way to use up garden tomatoes.
I cut my tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick.
To prevent the tomatoes from rolling around in the pan, slice off a thin slice of the skin on the rounded sides to make it flat.
Fresh or dried dill can be used: 1 heaping teaspoon fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill.
Refrigerate any leftover broiled tomato topping, and use it later on in the week.
VERY IMPORTANT: do not walk away from the stove when broiling food. The transition from golden brown to burnt is very quick.
