Cherry Tomatoes with Parmesan Topping

Source: MASS Recipes

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 12-ounce baskets cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Pour oil into 13x9x2-inch broiler proof ceramic baking dish. Add tomatoes; turn to coat with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with parsley and cheese. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake tomatoes just until plump and shiny but not split, about 10 minutes.
Preheat broiler. Broil until tomatoes begin to split and cheese begins to color, about 2 minutes. Serve hot or warm. Makes 8 servings.
