1/2 cup gluten free bread crumbs or panko
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil
Balsamic Vinegar

Chop the tomato guts (er, pulp) and, in a medium bowl, combine with mozzarella, bread crumbs, basil, salt, pepper and 1 Tbsp olive oil. Place stuffed tomatoes in a greased roasting pan. Replace the reserved "lids" and drizzle with remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tomatoes are wrinkly and cheese is bubbling. Garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
