Mediterranean Stuffed Tomatoes
Ingredients
- Large tomatoes - 2
- Packaged garlic croutons - 1/2 cup
- Crumbled goat cheese - 1/4 cup (1oz)
- Sliced pitted kalamata olives - 1/4 cup
- Reduced-fat vinaigrette or Italian salad dressing - 2 tbs
- Chopped fresh thyme or basil - 2 tbs
Instructions
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Use your finger to push out and discard seeds; use a paring knife to cut out the pulp, leaving 2 shells. Chop pulp, and transfer to a medium bowl. Place hollowed tomatoes, cut sides down, on a paper towel; drain 5 minutes. Add croutons, goat cheese, olives, dressing, and thyme or basil to pulp; mix well. Mound mixture into hollowed tomatoes.
- Place tomatoes on a baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil 4-5 inches from heat until hot and cheese melts (about 5 minutes). Serve immediately.
