Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1 cup dairy-free cheese (such as almond mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut them in half horizontally and scoop out a bit of the inner flesh to create a small cavity.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free cheese, olive oil, basil, parsley, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place the tomato halves, cut side up, into a baking dish. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each tomato half.
Spoon the herb and cheese mixture into each tomato half, pressing lightly to secure the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer or a side dish.
