Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Carefully slice the tops off the tomatoes and set the tops aside. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the seeds and pulp without breaking the walls of the tomatoes. Discard or save the pulp for another use.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt inside each hollowed tomato and place them upside down on a paper towel to drain any excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the hollowed tomatoes, using a spoon to carefully stuff them.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture on top of each stuffed tomato to create a crispy topping.
Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish and drizzle them lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are tender but still holding their shape.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
