   When you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

    In a microwave-safe bowl, heat up the broccoli with cheese sauce until the broccoli is tender and the cheese is melted, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

    Top each tomato with two strips of American cheese, crossing them for a fun look.
