Cooking time

35 minutes in the oven at 200°C.

Preparation

1. Start by washing and drying the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half, salt them lightly and place them in a colander for about 30 minutes to allow them to drain.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: chop the garlic, the parsley, add a tablespoon of olive oil and the breadcrumbs then mix well.
3. Take a large skillet. Heat a little oil, place the tomatoes face down on the pan and sear them for 2 minutes over high heat.
4. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet, spread 1 to 2 spoonfuls of garnish on each half-tomato then finish seasoning with a turn of the Camargue salt mill with Herbes de Provence Atelier du Sel Camargue and pepper.
5. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and bake at 200°C. Let cook for about 35 minutes. The tomatoes should be cooked, tender and the topping golden.
