- 0.5 cup Onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and scoop out the insides with a spoon, leaving a hollow shell. Reserve the insides in a bowl for later use.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Step 5
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. If needed, work in batches to fit all the spinach.
Step 6
Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved tomato insides, discarding the rest, and cook for another minute.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano until well combined.
Step 8
Rub the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the outside of the hollowed tomatoes.
Step 9
Stuff each tomato with the spinach mixture, packing it gently with a spoon.
Step 10
Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Step 11
Allow the stuffed tomatoes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
