For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture. Use high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. Gorgonzola dolce will provide a creamier, milder taste, while Roquefort offers a sharper, more intense flavor. These broiled tomatoes are best served immediately after cooking.
