Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces eggs
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until fully combined.
Dip each tomato slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dredge each slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Place the breaded tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Lightly spray the tops of the breaded tomatoes with olive oil spray to help them crisp up while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the tomatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Enjoy!
