Stuffed tomatoes with ham and cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make stuffed tomatoes with ham and cheese? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. It is very important to initially choose the right tomatoes. The tomatoes should be juicy, but strong and dense. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during processing and baking, they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish. Pink tomatoes are ideal.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the tomatoes and dry them. Cut off the tops and carefully, being careful not to damage the walls, remove all the pulp. You can do this with a regular teaspoon or a special noisette spoon. Do not throw away the pulp, you will need it later. If the tomatoes are large, like mine, then three pieces will be enough. If the tomatoes are medium, then 4-5.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now start preparing the filling. Remove all seeds and liquid from the cut-out portion and leave only the pulp. The filling should not be too watery. Cut the tomato pulp and previously cut caps into small cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife or pass it through a press.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the ham into strips or small cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the greens, dry and finely chop.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

8. STEP 8

   

   In a bowl, combine ham, tomato pulp, some grated cheese, herbs and garlic.

9. STEP 9

   

   Season the filling with salt and pepper and mix well.

10. STEP 10

    

    Fill the tomatoes with the prepared filling. Lightly sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top and lightly sprinkle with chopped herbs.

11. STEP 11

    

    Transfer the stuffed tomatoes to a baking dish lined with parchment and place in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven.

12. STEP 12

    

    Serve the stuffed tomatoes immediately while they are hot. Bon appetit!
