3. To make the topping: In a bowl, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, thyme, Parmesan cheese and season with a sprinkle of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir until all the breadcrumbs are soaked with the yellow tint of the oil.

 
4. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the dish.

 
5. Bake until the top is golden brown; 30 to 35 minutes.
