Share your favorite tomato recipes with our community . Yes, this recipe is simple. However in execution it is often a disappointment. Of course, you must have flavorful, ripe tomatoes but the trick is to rid the tomatoes of excess water so the tops remain crusty. Then dry them well with paper towels.
Place tomatoes in a lightly oiled baking dish.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine breadcrumbs, garlic and a little of the parsley and spread atop the tomatoes. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
