Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking.net

• 4 firm yellow tomatoes
• 4 firm red tomatoes (I used Roma)
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• Drizzle of olive oil
• Parmesan cheese, shredded
• Italian flavored panko crumbs
• Fresh basil, chopped

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a circular baking dish with cooking spray.

Slice the tomatoes into thick slices then layer them alternately in the baking dish, fitting them into a tight spiral, making only one layer. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste then drizzle them with a bit of olive oil.

 

Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven to broil. Sprinkle the tomatoes with Parmesan cheese and panko crumbs then place under the broiler, on the middle rack, for 1-2 minutes or until the panko crumbs are golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
