Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato.
Using a grapefruit knife, carefully remove as much pulp as possible without any of the skin. Combine pulp in a large mixing bowl with the next six ingredients. Carefully stuff hollowed tomatoes with the mixture and sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Pour the liquid into a baking dish and place the stuffed tomatoes in the dish. Dot with butter and bake for about 20 minutes, basting occasionally with cooking juices.
