I love to make this recipe when tomatoes are at their peak—the tomatoes almost melt in your mouth.—Joylyn Trickel

Simple and delicious for quick weeknight side dish. My tomatoes were extra juicy, so I gave them a few extra minutes under the broiler and drained the pan a bit before topping with the Parmesan and bread crumb mixture. Thanks for sharing!
