Baked Tomatoes Provencal - Part 1

Start with medium-sized tomatoes, as they are typically used as a side vegetable.

Use a bread knife to cut the tomatoes so they lay flat on a baking sheet.

Prepare a baking sheet with baking paper and drizzle a little oil on it.

Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet, ensuring they are flat and even.

For the topping, mix equal parts of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese; the creator uses about half a cup of each.

Add fresh chopped basil, salt, and pepper to the tomatoes before adding the topping.

Prepare the breadcrumb mixture by adding parsley, melted butter, and fresh chopped garlic.

Mix the breadcrumb mixture until it sticks together well; add more butter if necessary.

Taste the breadcrumb mixture to ensure it's seasoned well and adjust if needed.

Pack the breadcrumb mixture onto each tomato, ensuring they are fully covered but not overly mounded.

Dispose of gloves after handling the mixture.
