Como fazer Pesto Stuffed Tomatoes

Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
Cook 1 cup of rice in 2 cups of boiling water over low heat for 20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Cover the pan.
While rice cooks, slice the tops off 4 medium tomatoes, just enough to expose the seeds.
Carefully slice a thin piece from the bottom of each tomato to create a stable base.
Gently scoop out the seeds and core from each tomato, leaving the base intact.
Once rice is cooked, remove from heat.
Stir in ½ cup pesto sauce, ¼ cup pine nuts, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, and ¼ cup grated mozzarella cheese.
Mix well to combine.
Spoon the rice mixture into each tomato shell, pressing gently to pack it firmly.
Sprinkle the remaining ⅛ cup of grated mozzarella evenly over the stuffed tomatoes.
Place tomatoes on a foil-lined baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tomatoes are softened and the mozzarella is golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
