Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large tomatoes
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and scoop out the insides with a spoon, leaving a hollow shell. Reserve the insides in a bowl for later use.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. If needed, work in batches to fit all the spinach.
Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved tomato insides, discarding the rest, and cook for another minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano until well combined.
Rub the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the outside of the hollowed tomatoes.
Stuff each tomato with the spinach mixture, packing it gently with a spoon.
Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Allow the stuffed tomatoes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
