-1 Preheat the oven to 400°F.
-1 Working with one half of a tomato at a time, turn the tomato over and give it a gentle squeeze to remove just a few of the seeds and wet pulp.
-1 Transfer to a baking dish, cast iron skillet or rimmed baking dish, cut side up.
-1 Sprinkle each tomato with salt and pepper.
-1 In a small bowl, mix the cheese, oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and parsley.
-1 Place about 1 -1 ½ tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each tomato.
-1 Bake until just softened and juicy and the cheese is melted, about 12-14 minutes or so. To brown the tops, place the tomatoes under the broiler for a minute if necessary.
