  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stuffed tomatoes.
  • Don't overstuff the tomatoes: You want the filling to be evenly distributed and not too tightly packed.
  • Bake the tomatoes at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the tomatoes from bursting.
  • Serve the stuffed tomatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
