Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler setting to high and position the oven rack about 6-8 inches away from the heat source.
Wash the tomatoes and slice them in half horizontally. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the tomatoes.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them on the tomatoes.
In a small bowl, combine the parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Mix well, then evenly distribute the mixture over the tops of the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the tomatoes for seasoning.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened and the tops are golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve warm. Enjoy!
