How to Make Baked Feta Stuffed Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut four large tomatoes (about 1 pound total) in half horizontally.
  3. Carefully scoop out the pulp from each tomato half, leaving about 1/4-inch of tomato flesh intact around the edges. Reserve the scooped-out pulp.
  4. Discard the seeds from the reserved tomato pulp and coarsely chop the pulp.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomato pulp, 4 ounces (113g) crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup (30g) fine, dry breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons (10g) chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons (5g) chopped fresh parsley, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil. Mix well.
  6. Spoon the mixture evenly into the tomato shells.
  7. Place the stuffed tomatoes in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is heated through.
  9. Garnish with fresh Italian parsley sprigs before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
