Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element.
Wash and pat the tomatoes dry. Slice each tomato in half crosswise, then gently scoop out some of the seeds and pulp, leaving the tomato halves intact to act as little bowls.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to make the glaze.
Place the tomato halves cut-side up on a broiler-safe baking dish or sheet pan.
Brush the glaze mixture generously over the cut sides of the tomato halves, allowing any leftover glaze to pool slightly in the tomato cavities.
In another small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the glazed tomatoes.
Place the tomatoes under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes have softened slightly. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or alongside a fresh salad for a light meal.
