I think when I was browsing recipes I got caught up in how pretty these looked and forgot I don't really like tomatoes. The plus side is that Mr. Kitchin really loved these. I loved the filling, but wasn't digging the tomato shell. I think next time I might stuff the filling into a bell pepper. These bad boys are super low-calorie and high in protein. Makes eight servings.
Ingredients:
- 8 Large, Beefsteak Tomatoes
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Red Onion
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil, Chopped
- 2 Tbsp. + 6 Tbsp. Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 Cup Corn Kernels
- 1 Cup Zucchini, Diced
- 24 Thin Zucchini Slices
- 2 Cups Morningstar Farms Crumbles, Cooked
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Slice tops off tomatoes and hollow out, setting pulp aside.
- Discard half of pulp and rinse the other half to remove seeds and mush.
- Chop remaining pulp and set aside.
- Whisk together eggs and ricotta.
- Add in onions, basil, garlic, and 2 tbsp. cheese.
- Mix in corn, zucchini, and crumbles.
- Spoon mixture into hollowed out tomatoes until full.
- Top each tomato with 1/2 tbsp. cheese and three zucchini slices.
- Add tomato tops back on and bake for 45 minutes or until tops are browned.
- Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
