Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Melt the butter with the roughly chopped spearmint over medium-low heat. Saute the tomatoes in the butter for about 1 minute on each side. Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatoes in a heatproof serving dish or on a baking sheet. Combine the butter and mint from the pan with the bread crumbs, cheese and finely chopped mint. Divide the mixture evenly on top of the tomato slices. Grill the tomatoes about 5 inches from the heat, until the gratin is golden brown. Serve the tomatoes and their juices in a warmed dish.
