Preheat your oven's broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Wash the Roma tomatoes and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the seeds to create a small cavity for the toppings.
Place the tomato halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, and season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until combined.
Spoon the feta mixture evenly onto each tomato half, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the tops of the stuffed tomatoes.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the broiled tomatoes to cool for 2 minutes.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
