Preparation / Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Choose large, attractive tomatoes. Scoop out tomato centers carefully, leaving bottoms intact. Set aside inside of tomatoes. Toast bread and cut into 1/2" cubes. Pour oil from anchovies on bread cubes. Mash anchovies or mince into fine pieces. Mix anchovies, bread cubes and inside of tomatoes. Add parmesan cheese to mixture (this will prevent it from getting too wet inside tomatoes). Spoon mixture into hollowed out tomatoes. Sprinkle 2 tbsp. of reserved parmesan on top of tomatoes. Put in 8" square cake pan. Carefully pour in 1/2 inch water around tomatoes. Bake 30 minutes in a preheated 375F oven.
