Categories     Cheese

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons cabot salted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (about 4 slices firm wheat bread)
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (or extra sharp)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place rack in upper part of oven and preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold 8 tomato halves.
  • Pull off stems and cut tomatoes in half crosswise. With a teaspoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Lightly salt interiors of tomatoes and set upside-down on paper towels to drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high, add bread crumbs and continue stirring until crumbs are golden, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Transfer the crumb mixture to a bowl and stir in cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into tomato halves and set in prepared dish.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender and filling is lightly browned on top. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: This will ensure that they hold their shape while cooking and can be easily stuffed.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use mozzarella, Parmesan, feta, or any other cheese that you like.
  • Add some herbs and spices: This will give the stuffing more flavor. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Don't overstuff the tomatoes: You want to leave some room for the cheese to melt and the tomatoes to cook through.
  • Bake the tomatoes until they are tender: This will usually take about 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve the tomatoes warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cheddar stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables, and they can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give cheddar stuffed tomatoes a try!
