Parmesan Oven Baked Tomatoes
Description
Sliced ripe tomatoes are arranged in a shallow baking dish and seasoned with salt and black pepper. Fresh breadcrumbs are made by processing a slice of bread quickly in a food processor or blender, then combined with shredded Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, and a blend of fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, and oregano. This mixture is tossed evenly to coat all ingredients before being spread over the tomatoes. Baking at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes crisps the topping to a light golden brown without turning the tomatoes mushy.
The final dish presents tender, slightly softened tomato halves with a flavorful, crunchy topping that adds texture and an herbal, cheesy note. These oven-baked tomatoes are suitable as a side to grilled or roasted meats, pasta, or incorporate into a larger meal.
Ingredients
- 3 large tomatoes halved, ripe
- 1 lice bread or ¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh herbs parsley, basil and oregano, or ½ teaspoon each dried basil & dill
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Using a blender, food processor or Magic Bullet, process the bread into fresh breadcrumbs. (This took about 1 second in my Magic Bullet).
- In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Toss until well mixed.
- Place sliced tomatoes in a shallow baking dish, season with salt & pepper. Top with breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crumbs are lightly browned. Be sure not to over bake so the tomatoes don’t become mushy.
