How to Make Broccoli Stuffed Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and dry 6 medium-sized tomatoes.
  3. Cut the tops off the tomatoes and set aside.
  4. Gently scoop out the pulp, leaving about 1/4-inch thickness of tomato walls; reserve the pulp for another use (e.g., soup or sauce).
  5. Sprinkle the insides of the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
  6. Invert tomatoes and place them on a wire rack to drain for 30 minutes.
  7. While the tomatoes drain, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups chopped broccoli florets (about 1 medium head), 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Gently mix the broccoli and cheese mixture until well combined.
  9. Fill each tomato with the broccoli mixture, mounding slightly.
  10. Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed tomatoes with 1/4 cup chopped onion and 1 tablespoon additional grated Parmesan cheese.
  11. Sprinkle lightly with 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  12. Place the stuffed tomatoes in a greased baking dish.
  13. Tent the baking dish very loosely with foil.
  14. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is heated through.
