Step by Step Method

Step 1

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.

Lovely to look at and so good to eat. I hollowed out the tomato so there was room for more broccoli, used spicy Mrs Dash. Baked at 375 for 20 minutes. Thanks Mary, your recipe added a lovely side dish to our dinner

What a lovely change for doing broccoli and tomatoes, i can hardly wait for the summer tomaotes, but even with the winter ones this was delicious! We really enjoyed it. I used fresh broccoli, just steamed it a bit and chopped it, added red onion and sharp cheddar. For the binder i had a little no fat sour cream i needed to use up. Thanks for posting, i will be making this meany times in the future.
