Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half horizontally. Carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp, creating a hollow cavity in each tomato half.
-
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until it forms a crumbly mixture.
-
Place the hollowed-out tomato halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
-
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly into each tomato half, pressing gently to pack the filling.
-
Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the filled tomatoes to help them cook and brown nicely in the oven.
-
Bake the tomatoes for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the tomatoes are tender.
-
Once baked, remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
-
Garnish with additional fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra pop of flavor.
