Ingredients
- 2 pieces large tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 3
Drizzle the tomato slices with olive oil and evenly sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture generously over each tomato slice, covering the surface evenly.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomato slices cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 7
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for crusty bread.
