Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the tomatoes, then slice them crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the minced garlic, ensuring each slice is seasoned.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Melt the butter and stir it into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly combined.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping evenly over the tomato slices, pressing it gently to help it adhere.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are softened.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
