Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Rinse and pat dry the Roma tomatoes. Slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the seeds to create a cavity for the topping.
Place the tomato halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a crumbly topping.
Spoon the topping mixture onto each tomato half, pressing it gently to adhere.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and broil the tomatoes for 6-8 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with additional chopped parsley or basil if desired.
