Ingredients
  • 4 medium tomatoes, ripe but firm
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 c parsley, chopped

  • ¾ c bread crumbs
  • ½ c parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
  • salt + pepper, to taste
  • ¼ c olive oil
Directions Preheat oven to 400º.

Cut the tomatoes in half (top and bottom halves, rather than left/right) and place in pan.
