Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice each tomato into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the tomato slices with olive oil, spreading it evenly over the tops of the tomatoes with a brush or a spoon.
Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture generously on top of each tomato slice, pressing lightly to adhere the topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy them warm as a side dish or appetizer!
