Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: This will ensure that they can hold their shape during baking and won't become too mushy.
- Hollow out the tomatoes carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut a circle around the stem, then use a spoon to scoop out the pulp and seeds. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom of the tomatoes.
- Season the tomato shells: Sprinkle the inside of the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the filling.
- Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Try using different types of cheese, vegetables, meats, and grains. Some popular options include spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, and ground beef.
- Bake the tomatoes until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the tomatoes and the type of filling. Generally, you can expect to bake the tomatoes for about 30-45 minutes, or until they are soft and the filling is cooked through.
