Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Using a blender, food processor or Magic Bullet, process the bread into fresh breadcrumbs. (This took about 1 second in my Magic Bullet).
• In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Toss until well mixed.
• Place sliced tomatoes in a shallow baking dish, season with salt & pepper. Top with breadcrumb mixture.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crumbs are lightly browned. Be sure not to over bake so the tomatoes don't become mushy.
