Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

  2. Slice the tops off the tomatoes and gently scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, being careful not to puncture the outer flesh of the tomatoes. Reserve the pulp for later use.

  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, around 5-7 minutes.

  5. Stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley, mixing well to combine all the ingredients. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Take the reserved tomato pulp and chop it finely before incorporating it into the mushroom mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.

  7. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the hollowed-out tomatoes, pressing gently to fill them to the brim.

  8. Place the stuffed tomatoes in the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.

  9. Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

  10. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired, before serving your Mushroom Stuffed Tomatoes hot.
