Recipe Tips:
Use a serrated knife for slicing tomatoes for the best results.
A soup spoon works great for scooping out the seeds and core.
Enamel Baking Pan – this is my favorite little pan for baking and serving.
Double or halve the recipe as needed.
Use any fresh herbs that you have on hand or mix in dried herbs with the filling.
Roma tomatoes work great for this recipe, it would also work with heirloom tomatoes or your favorite variety.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Serve right out of the refrigerator or reheat in the microwave or oven until filling is heated through.
Serve these baked tomatoes as a side dish for any supper or pair with a green salad and garlic bread for a light and delicious summer meal.
They are just bursting with fresh summer flavors and the creamy filling is the perfect flavor combination. You might also enjoy these Cheddar Crumb Topped Tomatoes if you are a fan of baked tomatoes and these Bruschetta Butter Potatoes are another favorite.
