Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 1 cup (crumbled) Blue cheese
- 4 slices (crumbled) Cooked bacon
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Slice the tomatoes in half horizontally and scoop out a small portion of the seeds to create a slight cavity for the filling. Place the tomato halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the crumbled blue cheese, crumbled bacon, and panko breadcrumbs.
Drizzle each tomato half with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
Spoon the blue cheese, bacon, and breadcrumb mixture onto each tomato half, ensuring the topping is evenly distributed.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep an eye on the broiler, as it can quickly overcook.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
