Ingredients
- 6 tomato small, firm, fleshy walls
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese grated, divided
- ¼ cup basil fresh leaves, chopped finely, plus extra for garnish
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs Italian seasoned
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a small cast iron skillet or a small baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
- Prepare the tomatoes by cutting off the 1/4 top portion of the tomato horizontally. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh being careful not to puncture the bottom of the tomatoes. Place the empty tomatoes in the prepared cast iron skillet.
- Using your hands, separate the seeds from the scooped out tomato flesh and transfer the flesh to a cutting board and chop the flesh finely. Discard the seeds and tomato water.
- Make the stuffing by combining the mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, basil, panko crumbs, chopped tomato flesh, butter, garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; mix until well combined.
- Fill the tomatoes with the stuffing. Sprinkle the top of each tomato with the remaining parmesan cheese. Drizzle the top of each tomato with a little olive oil, to taste.
- Bake for 15 minutes then broil for a minute until the filling begins to bubble and brown. Garnish with torn basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy.
