Ingredients

• 4 large Tomatoes
• 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.

Step 3

Wash the tomatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Drizzle the tomato slices with olive oil to lightly coat them. This helps the topping stick and adds flavor.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the tomato slices, ensuring each slice gets a generous coating.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the slices cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the baked tomato slices with chopped fresh basil before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or on toasted bread for a simple bruschetta.
