This recipe is a favorite of my 11 year olds. We found a recipe for stuffed cherry tomatoes on the Nick Jr. site way back when she was 4 and have since modified it to a more “mature’ recipe. 😉
Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes
serves 4 {two tomatoes each}
Ingredients
*8 vine ripe tomoatoes-medium size
* Sliced fresh mozzarella-medium sliced (or you can use a bag of shredded mozzarella cheese)
* 2 family size tuna packets
* mayo- add as much as you like (we’ve also used ranch dressing)
*garlic parsley salt (we use Lawry’s)
* chopped fresh spinach (optional)
*bacon (optional)
* glass casserole dish (lasagna size)
Instructions
* Mix tuna, mayo & garlic salt (spinach,bacon) together.
* cut off the tops of the tomatoes and discard.
* carve out the core of the tomatoes
* gently add the mixture to the core of the tomatoes. Don’t over stuff.
* place tomatoes in a lightly greased glass casserole dish.
* Place slices of mozzarella on top of the tomatoes, sprinkle a little garlic salt on top if you’d like.
* bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. In gas ovens you might bake at 400 so the tomato skins don’t burst.
* Let cool for four minutes, then serve.
Enjoy! My family loves them.
