Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Tomatoes
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches below the heating element.
Wash the tomatoes, then slice them in half horizontally. Carefully scoop out a small portion of the seeds and pulp to create a well for the filling, being cautious not to break the tomato shell.
Peel and finely mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, olive oil, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, and salt and pepper until well combined.
Place the tomato halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Spoon the feta cheese mixture evenly into the wells of the tomatoes, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and slightly bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once broiled, remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or light main course with crusty bread.
