Preparation

1. Preheat the broiler.
2. Cut away the core of each tomato, then halve the tomatoes crosswise. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Combine the bread crumbs, shallots, garlic, parsley, thyme and olive oil. Blend well.
4. Top each tomato half with equal portions of the bread-crumb mixture, pressing down with your fingers to distribute the topping evenly. Arrange the tomato halves on a baking dish, and place about 8 inches from the source of heat. Close the door and cook for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep warm.
