Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 6 tomatoes
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup hot water
Make it lactose-friendly
  • 1 cup grated cheese → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)
  • 2 tbsp butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Select medium-sized tomatoes and hollow out the centers, reserving the pulp.
  2. Mix the crumbs, cheese, salt, pepper, butter, and hot water with the pulp from the centers of the tomatoes.
  3. Fill the tomatoes with this stuffing, place in a pan, and bake in a moderate oven until the tomato can be pierced easily with a fork.
  4. Serve hot.
