PROVENCAL TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the cores from the tomatoes, removing as little as possible. Cut them in half crosswise and, with your fingers, remove the seeds and juice. Place the tomato halves in a baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, scallions, basil, parsley, garlic, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the tomato halves generously with salt and pepper. With your hands, fill the cavities and cover the tops of the tomatoes with the bread crumb mixture. Bake the tomatoes for 15 minutes, or until they're tender. Sprinkle with the cheese, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 30 seconds more. Serve hot or at room temperature.
COUNTRY-STYLE TOMATOES
This is a superb vegetable course when tomatoes are in season, and they look great on a buffet table. Sometimes I go all out and buy beefsteak tomatoes as a special treat for family parties. -Cathy Dwyer, Freedom, New Hampshire

TOMATOES FRIBOURG STYLE (TOMATES FRIBOURGEOISES)
The tomato only found its way into Swiss recipes in the 16th century after Christopher Columbus introduced it to Europe from South America. This recipe, from the canton of Fribourg, uses Gruyère cheese and potatoes as stuffing, whereas, in the canton of Valais seasoned raw eggs are used for stuffing. This is suggested as a side for perch. From Easy Menu Cooking the Swiss Way, Helga Hughes.
