I like this recipe, which is similar to the Paula Deen type:

We use whatever cheese we have in the house- Mexican blend, cheddar, and Monterey Jack are all good. Garlic, onions, bacon are all optional, so is anything else that you have on hand.
I prefer to slice the tomatoes, usually of several different colors. Its very important to drain them well; two or three changes of paper towels are needed, or a couple of
hours in a colander. Anything less and you'll have a soupy mess.
