Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the 4 tomatoes in half crosswise and arrange cut-side up in a baking dish.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the tomato halves, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are soft but still hold their shape.

  5. Step 5

    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
