How to Make Baked Tomatoes With A Parmesan Cheese Crust And Balsamic Drizzle

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut each tomato in half horizontally. Gently remove the core and seeds using a small spoon or knife.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the parmesan mixture evenly over the cut sides of the tomatoes.
  5. Place the tomatoes, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the parmesan crust is golden brown.
  7. While the tomatoes bake, prepare the balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon water.
  8. Bring the balsamic glaze mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened and syrupy.
  9. Once the tomatoes are baked, drizzle generously with the balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
