Cheesy Stuffed Tomatoes
1 - Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
2 - Cut the top of the tomatoes using a sharp knife. Then, scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
Tip: We love these knives and recommend this quality kit from GrandTies for home and professional chefs. They are made from high-carbon stainless steel and are very versatile. Check out our detailed product review video for more information.
3 - Transfer the seeds into a bowl and blend them using a hand blender.
Tip: Our must-have hand blender is the Braun Multiquick Technology.
4 - To a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the egg and stir with a silicone spatula until well combined.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls and mini glass bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
5 - Crush and peel the garlic cloves with the blade of a knife. Then, finely mince the garlic and add it to the meat.
Tip: We love this reversible cutting board with integrated hand grips from John Boos.
6 - Next, add the rosemary, salt, and pepper to the meat and stir everything until well combined.
7 - Grate the comté using a zester and mix it into the stuffing mixture until well combined.
8 - Pour 1 cup (243g) of the tomato juice and stir until homogeneous.
9 - Stuff the tomatoes with the meat mixture and place them into a baking dish or baking tray.
10 - Dice the comté and push 1 cube of cheese inside the meat of each stuffed tomato.
