Had broiled tomatoes as a side dish at a restaurant last weekend and thought I would try these at home. It was really good and really close to what I ordered from the menu! I don't know what other people are doing, but I just lightly dusted the tomatoes with the bread crumbs and then added some extra parmesan to the tops and then just broiled until the cheese melted and the tops turned golden. I wasn't looking for a completely cooked tomato, just some zing and texture to an already tasty fruit. I will certainly be making these again. Thanks Rach!

The mixture was too crumbly even though I added extra olive oil and the cooked tomato did not have a good texture. We each ate one and threw the rest away.

I didn't care for this too much. I found the tomatoes to be barely warm, yet the cheese was browned, when I cooked them per the directions. I thought the stuffing was dry and lacked flavor. The only way I'd do this recipe again is if I cooked the tomatoes by themselves for a while before stuffing them. Then, I think the stuffing could be spiced up a bit by adding some onion and mushrooms (chopped in the food processor. I'd also use less bread crumbs and more of a creamy cheese.
