Our recipe this month features Tomatoes, which we are going to use to make Baked Tomatoes. This simple recipe is a family favorite that I remember making for family gatherings.   I grow my own tomatoes for a sauce but they all ripen at the same time, so here is another recipe I look forward to this time of year. It is a great vegetable to serve for dinner. 

Ingredients:

• 2 Beefsteak variety tomatoes (or whichever you prefer)

• ½ cup Italian style breadcrumbs

• 3 tsp dried or fresh parsley chopped

• 1 Tbs parmesan cheese

• 2 ½ Tbs olive oil

• Pinch of salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Cut Beefsteak tomatoes in half. 

2. Place four pieces on cookie sheet. 

3. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and place equal amounts on tomato halves. 

4. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. 

5. You want the tomatoes to still be firm. 

6. Place under broiler for 1-2 minutes to toast the breadcrumbs on top. 

7. Enjoy!
