- 1/4 cup of olive oil

Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Tomatoes
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash the tomatoes and cut off the tops. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp, leaving a hollow tomato shell. Place the hollowed tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a bowl, combine the garlic, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 3: Fill the Tomatoes
Spoon the filling mixture into each hollowed tomato, pressing gently to ensure it is tightly packed.
Step 4: Bake the Tomatoes
Place the filled tomatoes in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is golden brown.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the tomatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them as a side dish or as a light lunch, accompanied by a fresh salad or crusty bread.
