Bright, bubbly Parmesan tomatoes turn ordinary tomatoes into a crunchy, cheesy celebration. Thick tomato slices get a shower of grated Parmesan, a sprinkle of herbs, and a breadcrumb blanket, then roast until golden and irresistible. Each bite balances juicy sweetness with a savory, crunchy top that begs for seconds. Serve these playful rounds alongside grilled meats, toss them with pasta, or stack them for a veggie-forward snack. They’re speedy to make—about 10–20 minutes—perfect for a last-minute upgrade that feels special without fuss. All Kitchen Moxy recipes can be found at www.kitchenmoxy.com
