Easy Feta Stuffed Tomatoes
"This is a basic simple recipe that I use very often in the summer with my huge tomato harvest. Please use large firm tomatoes that will stand up to the oven temperature, if anything they can be slightly underripe, just don't use soft mushy overripe ones. Tomatoes such as Supersonic or Big Beef are good to use for this. This complete recipe can be doubled to 8 tomatoes."

Really tasty! One thing the recipe doesn't mention; I did not add back the large amount of liquid from the tomato guts into the filling, only the solid parts. We found this amazing when spread, bruschetta-style, onto garlic toast.
