Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Drizzle the olive oil on top.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
Cook for 15-20 minutes. Depending on the thickness of the cut.

Notes

If you want it more cheesy you can place the tomatoes and cheese on and cook for another 2 minutes. This will soften the cheese and gives the end result a different feel. I like this version for dinner. But on hot days for lunch, the colder tomatoes and cheese seems more appropriate to me. Try both and see which you like.
