Preparation

Step 1
Preheat broiler to very hot. Set a rack on the closest position to the source of heat. Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with foil.
Step 2
Remove any stems from the cherry tomatoes. Turn them, stem-side down, on the prepared pan. Carefully slice off the top third of each tomato, reserving these pieces of another use.
Step 3
Combine the remaining ingredients. Cover the cut surface of each tomato with about a teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture, mounding it slightly.
Step 4
Place the tomatoes under the broiler and broil for about a minute, until the topping is lightly browned. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter and serve.
