Ingredients

• 4 pieces large tomatoes
• 120 grams blue cheese crumbles
• 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position the top rack about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) from the heat element.

Step 2

Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice each tomato in half horizontally and arrange them, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Step 3

Using a small spoon, scoop out a bit of the pulp from the center of each tomato half to create a small cavity for the toppings. Discard or save the pulp for another use.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese crumbles, panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 5

Spoon the blue cheese mixture generously onto each tomato half, ensuring an even topping across all pieces.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and the blue cheese is melted.

Step 7

Remove the tomatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Allow the tomatoes to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or on top of a salad.
