This was such an exciting new way to eat my beloved green tomatoes! My son and I gathered up fresh herbs from the herb garden and enjoyed making this together! We did not have marjoram so we used basil, rosemary, sage and thyme. The cheese on top was the PERFECT accompaniment! WONDERFUL! This is a new favorite for the grill.
