Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large ripe tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice off the top inch of each tomato and set the tops aside. Gently scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, being careful not to pierce the walls. Reserve the pulp.

Step 3

Sprinkle the inside of the tomatoes lightly with a pinch of salt and turn them upside down on a paper towel to drain while preparing the filling.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.

Step 5

Chop the reserved tomato pulp finely and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl and mix it into the filling mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the hollowed-out tomatoes upright in the dish.

Step 9

Stuff the tomatoes generously with the filling, pressing it down lightly with a spoon to ensure they are fully packed. Replace the tops of the tomatoes if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the stuffed tomatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley or basil if desired.
