Ingredients
- 8 tomatoes (about 8 ounces each)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 (1/2-ounce) slice sourdough bread
- 6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Thyme leaves (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°.
-
Cut tops off tomatoes; discard. Carefully seed tomatoes, leaving shells intact. Sprinkle the cut sides of tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place tomatoes, cut sides down, on several layers of paper towels; drain for 15 minutes.
-
Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs form to measure 1/2 cup. Combine breadcrumbs, 6 tablespoons parsley, cheese, and garlic in a small bowl.
-
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tomatoes, cut sides down, in pan, and saute for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat; turn the tomatoes over. Spoon about 2 tablespoons breadcrumb mixture over each tomato. Spray the breadcrumb mixture with cooking spray, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Wrap the handle of the pan with foil. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until the breadcrumb mixture browns. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
