How to Prepare Gratinated Cherry Tomatoes
Wash the cherry tomatoes. Cut them in half. Try to choose cherry tomatoes of more or less the same size to ensure even cooking. Arrange the tomatoes in a baking dish with the cut side up.
Lightly salt the inside of the tomatoes. Mix the breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped garlic clove, and herbs in a bowl.
Mix the topping. For the herbs, you can use your favorites or just one. Place a teaspoon of the prepared topping on each half of the tomato.
Drizzle them with olive oil. Cook the cherry tomatoes in a preheated static oven at 375°F for 20 minutes.
