After you've made the delicious creamed spinach from my clone recipe here, save a little of it, and you're only a few steps away from this famous Joe's Stone Crab side dish. A couple of secret additions are stirred into 1/2 cup of the creamed spinach to improve texture and flavor, then the mixture is spread on top of thick-sliced beefsteak tomatoes. The restaurant grates a hunk of American cheese to top it all off, but it's hard to find American cheese that isn't already sliced. So, simply dicing 3 slices of cheese works well for my Joe's Stone Crab grilled tomatoes recipe, and should give you enough to cover four tomatoes. After you sprinkle the diced American cheese on top, broil the tomatoes until the cheese browns, and dig in.

I love this recipe; it is so different than other snacks I've presented to my family/guests; so along with others I've now included this one positively.
