Roasted Tomatoes With Garlic, Gorgonzola and Herbs image

This is another recipe from Giada De Laurentiis that I saw her prepare on her cooking program a few years ago. I missed a few preparation steps though, so I set my note aside. I finally took the time to get the missing instructions, so I thought I'd post it before I lose it again.

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 roma tomatoes, sliced in 1/2 lengthwise
1/4 cup oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
3/4 cup finely crumbled gorgonzola or 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Using a teaspoon, remove seeds from tomatoes. Place tomato halves, cut side down, on paper towels to drain for about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, gently toss the drained tomato halves in the oil mixture until coated. Marinate the tomatoes for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs and Gorgonzola cheese.
  • Place the marinated tomato halves, cut side up, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Fill each tomato half with the bread crumb filling. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until slightly softened and the underside of the tomatoes are brown.
  • Arrange the cooked tomatoes on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
