What the devil is in a name? Deviled Eggs. Deviled Ham. Devilish tomatoes. The word first appeared in an 18th-century cookbook to refer to making foods spicy by incorporating mustard and pepper. So the riddle is solved! Here zesty mustard and spicy pepper join herbs and Parmesan in a breadcrumb topping for juicy tomatoes. All the flavors meld while the tomatoes bake in this comforting side dish.
