Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes

- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice each tomato into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Drizzle the tomato slices with olive oil, spreading it evenly over the tops of the tomatoes with a brush or a spoon.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture generously on top of each tomato slice, pressing lightly to adhere the topping.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
Step 7
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy them warm as a side dish or appetizer!
