Baked tomatoes are a classic side dish and a great way to enjoy summer tomatoes when you’re not in the mood for another salad. This zesty version involves toasting breadcrumbs with bacon, scallions and garlic and mixing them with shredded pepper jack for a cheesy kick. Then, spoon them onto halved tomatoes and baked until warm and golden brown.

Directions

Halve 4 tomatoes crosswise; scoop out the seeds and season with salt and pepper. Brown 3 slices chopped bacon in a skillet. Add 2 sliced scallions (white parts) and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup panko and 3 tablespoons each olive oil, Parmesan and parsley. Season with salt and pepper; stir in 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese. Stuff into the tomatoes; bake at 400 °F until golden, 20 minutes. Top with scallion greens.
