These buttery breadcrumb stuffed broiled tomatoes take just 15 minutes to whip up and are a perfect easy side dish!

We’re closing out our week of Reader Recipes with an easy (but delicious) one…Trish’s Stuffed Tomatoes!

Trish, a nurse turned artist, loves having summer potlucks with friends and neighbors. And this tomatoes recipe is perfect for those nights! It’s a lighter alternative to most summer foods, making a great side dish when grilling or just on its own.

When she submitted this recipe and I saw just how easy it is (stuff, broil, done!), I knew I had to try it. The result? Buttery bursted tomatoes that were so filling and fun to make!

Here’s what you’ll need

  • Tomatoes: Trish uses small tomatoes, but I just used tomatoes on the vine. The smaller they are, the more roasty and juicy they’ll become when cooked!
  • Mustard: We’ll brush each tomato with some mustard to help infuse them with flavor.
  • Breadcrumbs: I used plain breadcrumbs here, but Italian style (or even day old torn up bread) would work well!
  • Parmesan: Shredded parmesan helps to bind the breadcrumbs, while packing in loads of cheesy flavor!
  • Butter: I tried these stuffed tomatoes three ways – with butter, with olive oil, and with nothing. Butter gave me the richest results!
  • Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes help to amplify the simple flavors we’ve got going here.

How to make these Broiled tomatoes

Step 1: Prep tomatoes
Cut each tomato in half, width wise. If using smaller tomatoes, simply cut a small portion off the top and bottom so they stand upright and have the tops exposed.

Step 2: Mustard
Evenly brush the top of each tomato with mustard. This is going to add major flavor, while also helping the breadcrumbs stick to the tomato a bit better!

Step 3: Filling
Stir together all of the filling ingredients. Feel free to go crazy with the seasonings here – Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence would be great!

Step 4: Mound
Working over the bowl that you stirred the filling together in, mound the breadcrumb mixture onto each tomato. I like to firmly pat down with a cupped palm to help everything stay on there nicely.

Step 5: Broil
Set your oven to broil and set the tomatoes on the middle rack. Broil, watching closely, until the tops are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Pair these tomatoes with

  • Lemon Basil Risotto for a unique Italian meal
  • Vegetarian Carbonara for a ore classic approach
  • Tomato Gazpacho for a tomato packed table
  • Portobello Burgers for a grill-worthy summer dinner
