These tomatoes are really easy to make and they are always a huge hit...this is how I got my husband to start eating tomatoes and now he is hooked!
These work great as a side dish or you could make a meal out of them, and you can make as few or as many as you like.
Ingredients
Roma tomatoes
Mozzarella
Garlic
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Pepper
Start with the number of roma tomatoes you desire and clean them all
Cut a piece off the top about 1 cm thick and set all the tops aside
Cut the tomatoes in half length wise and hollow out the insides so it is free of all the juice and seeds
Set the tomatoes on a piece of tin foil and drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
Cut pieces of garlic very thin or use the crushed garlic that you can buy prepared at the grocery store
Spread the garlic on the inside bed of the tomatoes - use as much or as little as you like depending on how much you love garlic!
Cut up the tops of the tomatoes into little pieces and put them on top of the garlic in the tomato shells
You can either put them on the grill or in the oven at 375 - keep an eye on them and when the start to brown add mozzarella to the top - my personal favorite is to use fresh mozzarella balls but you can use the shredded kind and it tastes great too - the amount of cheese is a personal preference - ad as much or as little as you like - there is no wrong way to do it
Wait until the cheese starts to brown and they are done! The are great by themselves or you can serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing...enjoy!
