Recipe Tips:
Use a serrated knife for slicing tomatoes for the best results.
A soup spoon works great for scooping out the seeds and core.
Enamel Baking Pan – this is my favorite little pan for baking and serving.
Double or halve the recipe as needed.
Use any fresh herbs that you have on hand or mix in dried herbs with the filling.
Roma tomatoes work great for this recipe, it would also work with heirloom tomatoes or your favorite variety.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Serve right out of the refrigerator or reheat in the microwave or oven until filling is heated through.
