Ingredients

• 4 pieces large tomatoes
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces eggs
• 0 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until fully combined.

Step 5

Dip each tomato slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dredge each slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

Step 6

Place the breaded tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Step 7

Lightly spray the tops of the breaded tomatoes with olive oil spray to help them crisp up while baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the tomatoes are tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Enjoy!
