BROCCOLI FILLED TOMATO CUPS

Wow - I was surprised at how much I liked these tomatoes. I was sold on this stuffed tomato recipe at the first bite. The sweet tomato, broccoli, and cheese is the perfect combination. These will be great with a steak, chicken or even fish. There was more filling than would fit inside my tomatoes, so I saved the extra filling in...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1-1/2 c soft bread crumbs, divided
1 c shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
6-8 medium sized tomatoes
2 c chopped broccoli
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 c mayonnaise (low fat or high octane, your preference)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Combine 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • 2. Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Gently scoop out the insides of tomato and turn them upside down on a paper towel to drain. (Reserve the tomato pulp.) When scooping out the tomato pulp, be careful not to make the walls of the tomato too thin. You don't want them to collapse.

I had an abundance of tomatoes and broccoli one year, so I began experimenting to see how best I could use both of them. Now this recipe is a family favorite.
