Ingredients

• 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the seeds with a spoon to make a small cavity.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and fresh basil finely. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, minced basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Drizzle the cut side of the tomato halves with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture into the cavities of the tomatoes, pressing gently to adhere the topping.

Step 7

Place the stuffed tomato halves on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper, cut side up.

Step 8

Broil the tomatoes for 6-8 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 9

Remove the tomatoes from the broiler and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
