How to Make Baked Spinach Topped Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 10 ounces (280g) fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, lightly beaten, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cut 4 large tomatoes in half horizontally and remove seeds.
  6. Place tomato halves, cut-side up, in a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  7. Mound about 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture onto each tomato half.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are heated through and the topping is lightly browned.
