In a small mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and thyme leaves.

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously over the cut side of the tomatoes, pressing lightly to help it stick.

Step 7

Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.

Step 8

Broil the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 6-8 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10
