Cook broccoli according to package directions and drain. While broccoli is cooking, cut tomatoes in half around the waist. If necessary, slice a sliver off of the bottom and top so the tomato will stand up evenly.
Step 2
Combine drained broccoli with cheese and onions. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Moisten as necessary with mayonnaise or beaten egg to get broccoli mixture hold together.
Step 3
Place tomato halves in lightly greased baking dish. Mound the broccoli mixture and sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons of cheese.
Step 4
Cook under the broiler element of the oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes to melt the cheese.
