We love a good heirloom tomato salad as much as anyone, but it’s nice to remember the magic that a few breadcrumbs and some grated cheese can bring to these sweet summer fruits.

Ingredients

6 ripe plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons salted butter, softened

3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil, shiny side up, and set an oven rack to the top position. Arrange tomato halves in pan. In a small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Sprinkle mixture over tomatoes, then transfer to top shelf of oven and broil until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
