2 large ripe tomatoes, halved
1 slice whole wheat bread, crusts removed
2 T. grated parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 t. olive oil
1 t. dried oregano
½ t. dried basil
½ t. dried thyme
black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350° F. Gently squeeze tomatoes or use a spoon to remove the seeds. In a blender or food processor, make crumbs out of bread. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, oil, oregano, basil, thyme and pepper, to taste. Spoon crumb mixture into each halved tomato. Place tomatoes in casserole dish. Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes, until tomatoes are soft, but not mushy, and topping is golden brown.
