Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Pour boiling water over couscous in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let couscous soak until the water is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- Slice the tops from tomatoes and take a very small slice of the bottoms so they will be stable upright. Use a spoon to remove and discard the tomato innards. Put tomatoes in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake tomatoes in the preheated oven until lightly charred at the edges, about 20 minutes.
- Line the inner walls of each tomato with 4 basil leaves.
- Toss mozzarella cheese with the couscous; stuff into tomatoes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top of the stuffed tomatoes.
