Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 2 tsp fresh basil leaves (chopped)
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese (grated)

Instruction

  • Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400ºF. Spray an 8 X 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Cut the tops off and hollow out the tomato by removing the pulp and seeds with a spoon. (I have a grapefruit spoon with a jagged edge that worked perfectly for this.)Dice the pulp and add it to the bread crumb mixture.
  • Gently mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Fill each tomato with stuffing and place in prepared baking dish. Drizzle each tomato with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Place in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
