Stuffed Tomatoes
1. Cut the top of the tomato off - kind of like carving the top of a pumpkin.
2. Scoop out the inside of the tomato. I have a special utensil that looks like a mini ice cream scooper ~ works great.
3. Melt some butter with garlic salt, parsley, ground black pepper and any other herbs or spices you wish to use.
4. Pour your melted butter mixture in the tomato. Fill the tomato about 1/4 or 1/3 full.
5. Fill the rest of the tomato with seasoned bread crumbs. I noticed that it tastes better if you make your own bread crumbs. (take a piece of buttered toast with ground black pepper, basil, parsley and garlic salt and mix in the blender)
6. Top off your tomato with Parmesan cheese and a basil leaf.
7. Bake - until cheese is melted. I always bake mine in my toaster oven 400 degrees - usually takes about 8 minutes.
