How to Make Savory Tomatoes

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler or toaster oven.
  2. Wash and remove the stem ends from the tomatoes.
  3. Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally.
  4. Trim the ends of the tomato halves, if necessary, to create a flat base for even cooking.
  5. Drizzle olive oil (optional) over the cut side of each tomato half.
  6. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. If using fresh herbs, add them now.
  7. Arrange the tomato halves, cut-side up, on a microwave-safe plate.
  8. Evenly mound the breadcrumb mixture onto the cut surface of each tomato half.
  9. Microwave uncovered on high for 2 minutes. Rotate the plate halfway through for even cooking.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the breadcrumbs.
  11. Microwave for an additional 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, transfer the plate to the preheated broiler or toaster oven and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
