5. Chop the onion insides and mix in large mixing bowl with tomato seeds and juices, bread crumbs, grated cheese, parsley and olive oil.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. In a shallow, oven-proof serving casserole just large enough to hold all vegetables, place peppers, onion cups and tomatoes all cut-side up.

9. Bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until bread crumbs on top of each are dark brown and crispy.
