Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large ripe tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the tops off the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon. Discard the seeds and set the hollowed-out tomatoes aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
In a bowl, combine the sautéed garlic, chopped parsley, basil, thyme, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the mixture and stir to evenly moisten the filling.
Stuff each tomato with the herb and breadcrumb mixture, packing it gently but firmly.
Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the tops of the tomatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the tomatoes have softened.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Fresh Herb Stuffed Tomatoes!
