Baked Pesto Tomatoes

Desperate to find yet another way to use all the tomatoes from 4 plants, i found this in the big book of casseroles. i used prepared pesto, but if you make your own, it is that much better. had so many, i shared with the neighbors, and even the young ones liked it. i used about 20 plum tomatoes and increased the remaining ingredients to match.

Place cut sides up in 8x8 baking dish , coated with cooking spray.
