- Drizzle the tomatoes with the olive oil and pat around them to make sure they are nicely coated.
- Mix the breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley together in a bowl. Pat even amounts into each tomato. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted.

Note
My daughter would only eat hers after I’d cut it up and tossed it with pasta. But my husband and I devoured them just as they were!
