TOMATOES PROVENÇALE
4 servings
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 13 × 9-inch baking dish. Combine in a small bowl:
- ½ cup fresh bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Halve crosswise, then gently squeeze the seeds from:
- 4 firm-ripe medium slicing tomatoes
Arrange cut side up in the baking dish and season to taste with:
- Salt and black pepper
Spoon the bread crumb mixture over the tomatoes, gently patting it into a dome on each. Drizzle over the tops:
- Olive oil
Bake until the bread crumbs are golden and the tomatoes are softened, about 50 minutes.
