Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes. Cut each tomato in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the seeds and a little bit of the pulp from the center of each tomato half to make room for the filling.
Place the tomato halves in a baking dish, cut side up, and drizzle them with olive oil.
Finely chop the fresh basil and parsley, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix together the basil, parsley, garlic, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the top of each tomato half.
Top each tomato half with an even layer of grated Parmesan cheese followed by shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden and the tomatoes are tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly before serving.
