Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the 4 tomatoes in half crosswise and arrange cut-side up in a baking dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup chopped olives, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the tomato halves, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are soft but still hold their shape.
Step 5
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
