Baked Provençal Tomatoes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut an inch off the top and a little bit of the bottom of the tomatoes, so they stand upright.

With a small spoon or melon baller, gently scoop out the inside of the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes in a shallow baking dish, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, basil, parsley, garlic, thyme, and 1/2 tsp salt.

Fill the tomatoes to the top with the bread crumb mixture.

Drizzle a little olive oil over each.

Bake the tomatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.

Remove from oven and top with grated cheese.
