When ruby-red tomatoes appear on the vines in the garden, my family requests these cheesy topped tomatoes as a side dish. I also enjoy these by themselves for a light lunch.

Ingredients

2 large tomatoes
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Dash pepper

Directions

Remove stems from the tomatoes and halve widthwise. Place, cut side up, in a small baking dish. Combine all remaining ingredients; sprinkle over tomato tops. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until heated through.

Okay. I'm not a huge cooked-tomato person. My husband would probably like them more than me.

I didn't cut them in half, just cut the tops off and I didn't use butter, but these turned out very well. Husband and company loved them :)
