Preparation
- Preheat the broiler.
- Cut away the core of each tomato, then halve the tomatoes crosswise. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Combine the bread crumbs, shallots, garlic, parsley, thyme and olive oil. Blend well.
- 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.
