roasted Tomatoes Gratin

By jonil

A gratin is delectably French - which is why these garlic-perfumed tomato halves make such an engaging accompaniment to cream-sauce dishes, such as Linguine with Newburg Sauce.

Ingredients

• 4 med tomatoes, cut in half
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup garlic and herb bread crumbs.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 T butter, melted
• 1 t bottled crushed garlic

Preparation

Step 1

1) Preheat oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with foil.

2) Place tomato halves, cut sides up, on prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

3) In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, butter, and garlic. Spoon over tomatoes.

4) Roast tomatoes in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until bread crumbs mixture is golden brown.
