  • Sprinkle the tops with chopped onion and more Parmesan cheese.
  • Sprinkle lightly with shredded cheese (if using).

  1. This was very, very good!!! I did everything as the recipe stated, but then after putting them in the oven - found that I did not put the mayonnaise in - I had it out and followed the recipe, but it had been left out of the instructions also. I imagine you add to the mixture prior to stuffing the tomotoes - but with leaving out the mayo, it was still simply fabulous! I am going to make some of these to take on a camping trip, what a treat!!! And they are healthy, I'd say - tomato, brocolli, breadcrumbs, cheese - well not too bad! Loved it and they are beautiful as a side or main course. I made them along with bacon wrapped asparagus and the whole meal was beautiful and extremely tasty. My guest thought would even be better with a little bacon in the brocolli mixture, maybe so, but it is fantastic just like it is! Thank you for a great recipe!
     
  2. I forgot to rate this recipe the last time I made this with summer tomatoes. I had it again on turkey day, was great.
