How to Make Tomatoes Florentine

  4. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour in the milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute, until slightly thickened.
  7. Spoon the spinach mixture into the hollowed-out tomatoes.
  8. Arrange the filled tomatoes in an ovenproof dish or on a baking sheet.
  9. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
  10. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the tops of the tomatoes.
