Cooking Notes

Ellen

I was excited to make these but was a bit disappointed in the results. The cheese overwhelmed the perfect, peak-season tomatoes. I doubt I'll do it again.

I prefer Julia Child's tomatoes Provencal, which uses a stuffing made of fresh bread crumbs, olive oil, herbs (basil and parsley) and shallots. Sometimes I add a bit of grated Parmesan and/or garlic to the mix. Either way, it lets the tomatoes shine.

Angela Sasso

Have you ever heard of Maggi seasoning? it's a type of soybean based seasoning sauce (like soy sauce but doesn't taste the same). It also comes as seasoning cubes. I think it gives a wonderful umami flavour. You could definitely add that to the breadcrumbs to give a savoury and more complex taste.

Nancy

I was afraid the cheese might not be melted, or the tomatoes cooked too much, but this was perfect (with smallish tomatoes). I don't think I even tasted the anchovies. Next time, I think I might mix some julienned basil into the cheese.

Johanna

This dish is spectacular. I added minced chive, tarragon, parsley, and basil to the cheese.

Pureed leftovers and served over pasta. Delicious!

Sarah

Planning to try Gorgonzola dolce instead of goat cheese - I bet it will be yummy.

Savilac

This is delicious dish. I followed the recipe exactly, without changing anything. Its easy to make and a crowd pleaser.

Carol

Upend the tomat shells for awhile so they are not soggy. I would suggest 1/2 hr after salting. And yes do use the pulp in the crumbs.

Christa

These were relatively simple but messy to make, and I didn't find the cheese at all overwhelming. Used garden-fresh tomatoes, and the tomato flavor shone through the cheese. Anchovies were a great flavor enhancer. Really hit the spot on a cool rainy evening.

Fantastc. Quick and easy. This is a great way to make awful, supermarket tomatoes edible. Loved as is, but will definitely try with gorgonzola. Thanks for suggestion, commentators below.

When do you add the butter mixture in step 2 to the marscapone/goat cheese mixture from step 1? I’m confused.

wendy

"... top with the bread crumbs." that's the butter mixture, it goes on top :)

Anju

I've made this stuffed with potatoes. Tastes really nice. Boil potatoes, mash them, add salt, red pepper, onions and the insides of the tomatoes that are removed. Stuff inside the tomatoes and bake.

Lynn

I did not use goat cheese - just mascarpone, and added provolone. Based on the reviews I read, I added more garlic breadcrumbs and omitted the anchovies. Used a bunch of chopped fresh sage. 12 minutes and they were great - very tasty!

dee from New Orleans

Really good! I used creole tomato definitely on the firm side, reamed out just the seeds and left the flesh intact. I did not have marscapone but instead used some leftover ricotta with goat cheese. Added chives. Baked in a high sided casserole with snug upright stuffed tomatoes.Used a counter top oven which heats to only 450*. 30 minutes and covered the tops with foil because they were getting to dark. Added about 15 or so minutes to account for the temperature. The variations are endless

It's great the way it is, but for something a little different, do the following:- add a little chopped spinach to filling (if you add a lot, it becomes tomatoes stuffed with creamed spinach)- delete garlic; replace with chives and/or shallots + add a little tarragon- add grated parmesan to topping of bread crumbs

apottere

Wondering if I used whipped cream cheese instead of mascarpone if it would work?

Nancy

I was afraid the cheese might not be melted, or the tomatoes cooked too much, but this was perfect (with smallish tomatoes). I don't think I even tasted the anchovies. Next time, I think I might mix some julienned basil into the cheese.

Susan

Very tasty - made it without the anchovies because I'm not that kind of person and was delicious. I used very large tomatoes, so increased the cooking time to 12 minutes so that they were golden on top.

Dodiew

Has anyone done this with cherry tomatoes?

Carol

I once made BLT cherry tomatoes as a raw side to drinks. Good, but fussy.
