Baked Parmesan Tomatoes Recipe - Delicious Mediterranean Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 medium tomatoes (ripe and firm)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated for best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin for enhanced taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or fresh if available)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Prepare Tomatoes

    Slice the tomatoes in half horizontally and scoop out some of the seeds.

    This helps them bake evenly and reduces excess moisture.
  3. Make Mixture

    In a bowl, combine grated Parmesan, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and salt.

    Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Fill Tomatoes

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each tomato half, pressing gently.

    Don't overfill to prevent spilling during baking.
  5. Bake

    Place the stuffed tomatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
