I loved these as did our dinner guest and both in taste as well as presentation I was proud to serve them. (Hubs didn't like them but he doesn't count because he doesn't like Parmesan or Asiago cheese). I used Panko bread crumbs and mixed olive oil right into the cheese/crumb mixture rather than drizzling it over the top. The topping was flavorful light crispy and golden brown and I was lucky to have red-ripe Roma tomatoes to begin with. Beautiful and delicious addition to the dinner plate.
Wow! These are so tasty! They can be a meal in and of themselves. This is nice because it can work as an appetizer or a side. Quick and easy, but tastes like you spent a long time. I love the blend of flavors! This is a definite keeper especially with fresh garden tomatoes over the summer months.
I used fresh picked heirloom tomatoes panko bread crumbs and EVOO. Our garden is overflowing so I will be making this again. Next time it will be on the grill.
really good flavor. definitely stick with harder tomatoes. we used vine ripened and found that they got too mushy. i would recommend hard romas. also added a bit more oregano. yum!!
This recipe is an extremely nice "stand around the kitchen table" snack. The guests helped to prepare it and when it was eaten everyone was awestruck by the flavours created from the common simple ingredients. It's a perfect snack recipe for Yuppies and other mindless people. Peace and love Paul
I think I would rather eat a plain tomato with salt. I really tried to like this recipe but I think I just don't like the texture of the tomatoes. I will try these with some fresh romas from my garden very soon.
Overall very good. Nice texture with the toasty bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. I also added a garlic and herb cheese spread to the top before sprinkling on the parmesan/bread crumb mixture and it added a really nice flavor.
Found these to be quick and tasty. Went well with my grilled filet mignon wasabi garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Used Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
they werent bad but just a little blah. maybe they needed more spices to pop it up a bit! i will defly make again... maybe add a little more cheese?
