Baked Stuffed Tomatoes

Juicy, Savory, and Stuffed with Flavor

These baked stuffed tomatoes turn a handful of simple vegetables into a seriously satisfying side dish.

Filled with sautéed zucchini, peppers, onions, and crumbled feta, then seasoned with U Wanna Pizza Me?, they’re savory, cheesy, and especially good when fresh tomatoes are at their peak.

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Core and hollow out the tomatoes, leaving enough of the exterior intact to hold the filling.
3. Dice the onion, zucchini, and pepper.
4. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté until softened.
5. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl and stir in the crumbled feta.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and U Wanna Pizza Me?.
7. Add enough breadcrumbs to lightly bind the filling together.
8. Spoon the vegetable and feta mixture into the hollowed tomatoes.
9. Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is heated through.

Pro Tip:

Don’t overdo the breadcrumbs. You only need enough to bind the filling—the vegetables and feta should still be the stars.

Make It Your Own:

• Add fresh basil or parsley to the filling
• Mix in cooked Italian sausage for a heartier version
• Top with parmesan before baking
• Add mushrooms or spinach to use up extra vegetables

What To Serve It With:

Serve as a side with grilled chicken, steak, seafood, or pasta. You can also place the warm stuffed tomatoes over field greens for an easy light lunch or salad.
