Ingredients

• 4 pieces large tomatoes
• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon optional hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice off the tops and use a spoon to hollow out the centers, removing seeds and pulp. Be careful not to puncture the sides.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Mince garlic cloves and sauté them in the skillet until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Chop the sautéed spinach finely and stir it into the cheese mixture. Add salt, pepper, and optional hot sauce to taste.

Step 8

Fill each tomato cavity generously with the spinach-cheese mixture, pressing it down lightly.

Step 9

Place stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish and sprinkle some additional breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on top for a crispy crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
