Recipe by Dragon
I brought these stuffed tomatoes to a friend's dinner party this past weekend. I wanted something I could assemble at home and just bake off at the dinner. It is an easy and elegant side dish. This is a perfect dish to mix and match whatever herbs and cheeses you have on hand.
Serves: 6Ingredients:
6 medium vine tomatoes
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
1/3 cup cheddar, grated
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2. Cut a small slice off the end of the tomatoes to allow them stand up on their own. Cut the tops off the tomatoes. With a small spoon, scoop out the pulp and seeds. Be careful not to pierce the skin. Discard the seeds and chop up the pulp.
3. Combine the pulp, herbs, bread crumbs, cheeses and pepper and mix until combined.
4. Fill each tomato with the herb and cheese mixture and place in a greased casserole dish.
5. Drizzle the top of each tomato with some olive oil. Bake until the tops are brown, about 20-25 minutes.

I love grilled tomatoes & yours are better than any I've ever seen. Awesome picture too!
My..my.. that's so pretty, Oregano with Cheese can't nevet go wrong, superb :)
Looks great! :)
Our garden is overflowing with tomatoes.
All those cheeses and the oregano..*drool*
oh, do those look delicious! I think I have everything EXCEPT the fresh herbs... I imagine dried could work as well though. Yum!
Mmmm, these look fab! I am always a fan of stuffing fruit and vegetables but have never got round to tomatoes. Love the filling - and it would be perfect for vegetarian guests too!
What a great portable dish to bring. This is tomato's spotlight time of year, and your grilled tomatoes look awesome.
I don't think I've ever had a stuffed tomato before, but I don't know why because this looks fabulous! I have tomatoes coming out of the garden, adn I can't think of a better way to use them!
These look amazing, I adore stuffed tomatoes! Yum!

Would you look at all the cheese in there! Tomatoes are my favorite veggie and you just made them better!
hey, I just posted these to my site. thanks for the recipe. YUM!
What a great recipe. I've made baked tomatoes, grilled tomatoes, etc. for years....but the technique of scooping out the middle, eliminating the seeds, and then blending the remaining with spices and ingredients is genius....I can't wait to try it. You mind if I try my variation on my blog? I'll be sure to give you credit.
