Ingredients

• 6 pieces Medium-sized tomatoes
• 120 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 60 grams Grated cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (or to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 60 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Carefully cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside and discard the pulp (or reserve it for another dish).

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 4

Fill each hollowed tomato with the cream cheese mixture, packing it gently and leveling the top.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with olive oil until lightly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle a generous amount of the breadcrumbs over the top of each stuffed tomato to create a crunchy topping.

Step 7

Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and crisp.

Step 8

Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
