Ingredients

• 4 whole large tomatoes
• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the tops off the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the insides, leaving a sturdy shell. Discard the seeds and liquid, or reserve them for another use. Place the hollowed-out tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain while preparing the filling.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Mince the garlic and cook it in the olive oil for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for topping. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 7

Place the hollowed-out tomatoes in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Fill each tomato with the creamy spinach mixture, packing it in gently.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture generously on top of each filled tomato.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 11

Let the stuffed tomatoes cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Cream Spinach Stuffed Tomatoes as a decadent side dish or starter.
