Ingredients
- 4 large Tomatoes
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches below the heating element.
Step 2
Wash the tomatoes, then slice them in half horizontally. Carefully scoop out a small portion of the seeds and pulp to create a well for the filling, being cautious not to break the tomato shell.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, olive oil, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, and salt and pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Place the tomato halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Spoon the feta cheese mixture evenly into the wells of the tomatoes, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and slightly bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 6
Once broiled, remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 7
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or light main course with crusty bread.
