Steps:
- Place rack in upper part of oven and preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold 8 tomato halves.
- Pull off stems and cut tomatoes in half crosswise. With a teaspoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Lightly salt interiors of tomatoes and set upside-down on paper towels to drain.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high, add bread crumbs and continue stirring until crumbs are golden, about 5 minutes longer.
- Transfer the crumb mixture to a bowl and stir in cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into tomato halves and set in prepared dish.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender and filling is lightly browned on top. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes that are free of blemishes. Beefsteak, Roma, and heirloom tomatoes are all good choices.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the tomatoes in half. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
- Scoop out the tomato pulp, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell.
- Season the tomato shells with salt and pepper, and then drizzle them with olive oil.
- Fill the tomato shells with the stuffing of your choice. Some popular options include cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, ground beef, and rice.
- Bake the tomatoes in a preheated oven until the filling is cooked through and the tomatoes are tender.
- Serve the tomatoes hot or cold. They can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
