Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until it’s hot. Add as many tomato halves, cut side down, as will easily fit in the pan. Sear the halves without moving them until they’re caramelized and dark brown (not black), or about 2-3 minutes. Place them, cooked side up, in a baking or casserole dish. Continue until all the tomato halves are cooked. Pour the skillet tomato juice over the tomatoes and season with salt.
  3. In a small bowl and using a fork, mask together the room temperature butter, parsley, minced garlic and bread crumbs. Spread it on the tomatoes in the casserole dish.
  4. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake, uncovered, until the topping has turned golden brown and the tomatoes are lightly bubbling. It should take about a half-hour. (Sprinkle with freshly grated gruyere cheese if you like. I like.)
