Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice off the tops of the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the insides with a spoon, creating hollow shells. Reserve the tops if you'd like to use them for presentation.
Sprinkle a small pinch of salt inside each tomato shell and place them upside down on a paper towel to drain while you prepare the filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, and breadcrumbs (if using). Mix well until the filling is evenly incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Turn the tomato shells upright and place them in a baking dish. Spoon the feta mixture into each tomato, packing it gently but firmly.
Bake the stuffed tomatoes in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is slightly golden on top.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with additional parsley or dill if desired.
