1 Rinse and dry the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise. With a small spoon, scoop out the seeds into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl to collect the juices. In a large skillet, toast the bread crumbs over medium heat, stirring often, until they are just fragrant, not browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
2 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Oil a large baking pan. Arrange the tomato shells cut-side up in the pan.
3 To the bowl with the tomato juice, add the bread crumbs, anchovies, capers, cheese, oregano, and salt and pepper. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Stuff the mixture into the tomato shells. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
4 Bake 40 minutes or until the tomatoes are tender and the crumbs are golden. Serve hot.
