Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 80 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams black olives, pitted and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Wash the tomatoes and slice off the tops. Use a small spoon to carefully scoop out the pulp and seeds, creating a hollow center. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside and discard the pulp (or save for another recipe).
In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, chopped black olives, parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the hollowed tomatoes, filling each to just below the top.
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish so they stand upright. If desired, sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened and the cheese filling is warmed through.
Remove from the oven and allow the stuffed tomatoes to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or side dish.
