Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Drizzle the tomato slices with olive oil and evenly sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture generously over each tomato slice, covering the surface evenly.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomato slices cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for crusty bread.
