We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Tomatoes ... Note - the size of the tomatoes can determine how many you use. I find 5-6 is usually what I use; however, if they are small you may need 7 or even 8; depends on the size. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and some of the pulp.

  • Step 2: Filling ... Add the cheeses, bread crumbs, basil, oregano, and pepper to a small bowl; then, mix to combine. Stuff the tomatoes; then, set on a plate to come to room temperature before grilling. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil before grilling.

  • Step 3: Grilling ... Medium heat for outdoor or indoor grills. Now, for outdoor grilling, I like to set a piece of foil on the grill and spray with a non-stick spray. I put the tomatoes right on that. I set them in between the grates right on the foil, that way - they sit upright without rolling over. On an indoor grill pan; I just line them up between the grates. However, you can bake these in an oven too, (400 degrees), in a small casserole dish.

  • Step 4: They take about 10-15 minutes until the cheese begins to melt; and, the tomato is soft/tender, but NOT falling apart. I wish I would give you an exact time; but ... the size of the tomato, and the method you use; can alter cooking times. Just keep an eye on them; you will know when they are soft and tender.

  • Step 5: Serve and ENJOY! ... Just a perfect easy side dish. Great with steak, roast chicken, chops, or grilled fish, etc. They are delicious! Also, these are wonderful to serve for brunch as well.
