Tomatoes with cheese in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake tomatoes with cheese in a slow cooker? Prepare your food. Choose medium-sized tomatoes as the strong, soft fruits can turn into mush when baked. Take any soft cheese that melts well. I have mozzarella, Adyghe will work well. You can use any greens you like. So are the seasonings.

2. STEP 2

   

   First of all, prepare the tomatoes. Wash them well and dry them. Cut off the top part with the stalk of each tomato, but do not throw them away, they will serve as caps. Use a spoon to scrape out the inside of the tomato. You will get cups like these. Don’t throw away the pulp either, freeze it and use it later in making sauces or soups.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the dill or other greens and dry well. Chop it finely.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a bowl, put grated cheese in it, beat in an egg. Pass the peeled garlic cloves through a press. Add salt and pepper, just keep in mind that the cheese also contains salt, do not overdo it. Pour in the olive oil, leaving a little to grease the bowl and tomatoes. Instead, you can use regular vegetable or mayonnaise. Add chopped greens.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stir. The filling is ready.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut off the round part at the bottom of the tomatoes so they can stand up straight and not fall over. Fill them with the egg and cheese mixture. Cover each tomato with the cut caps.

8. STEP 8

   

   Take the multicooker bowl and grease it with a small amount of oil, vegetable or butter. Place prepared tomatoes on the bottom. Grease the tops with the remaining oil; it is more convenient to do this with a pastry brush.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the bowl in the multicooker. Turn on the mode suitable for baking, for me it is “Baking”. I advise you to set the time to very short, 10 minutes. A longer duration can turn the tomatoes into mush. After 10 minutes, open the lid and check their condition. If they have softened and the cheese has melted, take it out. If not, keep going. It took me 15 minutes, but 10 would have been better.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the finished tomatoes from the slow cooker, cool slightly and serve as an appetizer or as a side dish. They are delicious both hot and cold. Bon appetit!

Once again I thought about how kitchen appliances help modern people. After all, in the old days, everything, everything was prepared by hand, and the only equipment was a meat grinder. A couple more recipes like this in the slow cooker and I’ll definitely be tempted to buy it. It would be interesting to know about the advantages of a multicooker. The only thing that comes to my mind (which is very important) is the speed of preparation of the dish. Am I right, Yulia?

Yeah, I have the same question as Anahit! Do you think this thing can be of some use to a person without a lack of time? Based on your personal experience, is there any group of dishes about which you can say: is it best to cook it in a slow cooker?

Anahit and Magnago, I answer your question. In the cartoon it is good to cook porridge (such as buckwheat), wonderfully stew meat, cook jellied meat, bake pies from batter (such as charlotte). But if you have a normal kitchen with a normal stove and oven, the desire and time to prepare food, you simply don’t need a multicooker. The cartoon appeared in my house when, after moving, we found ourselves without a stove and without a proper kitchen. We lived practically in camp conditions :) And this happens. That's when the cartoon came to our rescue. Now I use it very rarely. By the way, my cartoon cooks well and very quickly because she is also a pressure cooker. So I’ll still cook jellied meat in it :)) I can privately answer your questions in more detail

Of course, everything happens in life and no one is immune from anything. And your advice is good. And I have plenty of time and desire to cook. I’m very glad that you have become a “regular” at Khrumka. It's always a pleasure to talk with an interesting and experienced person.

Irish, what's in the oven? Would you like to try a pressure cooker? You see, Julek seems to be writing that it’s somewhat similar. But my mother-in-law taught me to cook a lot of things in a pressure cooker. The Germans are thrifty! So now I cook both potatoes and rice in a pressure cooker. Peppers definitely turn out well in it. I haven’t tried tomatoes like these yet (and I won’t this year, we’ve got a Dutch abomination now... you know this joke? “The Dutch have come up with a new marketing strategy: they are now selling water in the form of tomatoes!”). But purely in appearance, Yulka’s tomatoes look more stewed than baked, right?
