Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe tomatoes
- 100 grams Swiss cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the tomatoes, then slice them in half horizontally. Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and some of the pulp to create a hollowed-out center.
Finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley. Set these aside.
Grate the Swiss cheese and combine it in a small mixing bowl with the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the components form a crumbly, cheese-laden topping.
Place the tomato halves cut-side up in a baking dish. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture into the hollowed centers of each tomato, pressing it down gently so it adheres.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the tops of the stuffed tomatoes for added flavor and to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the cheese topping is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
