Ingredients

4 medium tomatoes med-large
8 ounces of flavored goat cheese if using plain, jazz it up with spices/herbs or chopped roasted peppers
1 clove garlic minced
a few basil leaves chiffonade see notes
1 teaspoon fresh time leaves more or less to taste
1 TBS fresh parsley, chopped more or less to taste
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
1 cup Panko

Instructions

Cut a circle into the top of your tomatoes using a small serrated knife or pairing knife. Gently cut out a section, then using a melon baller, serrated spoon or a small spoon gently remove the inside of the tomato - be careful not to break through.
Flip the scooped out tomatoes upside down onto a few paper towels and let drain for an hour.
In a small bowl combine the goat cheese and roasted peppers. Set aside.
In a small bowl combine Panko, basil, garlic, toss well. Drizzle with a bit of the olive oil and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
When ready to stuff your tomatoes, season the inside of your tomatoes with black pepper and a small amount of salt. Fill with some of the goat cheese mixture about ¾ full. Top with Panko mixture. Pressing down gently.
Nestle the tomatoes into a small baking dish, that was very lightly coated with avocado or olive oil. Packing them together in a small dish helps keep them upright. You can also weave rolled aluminum foil around them to keep them stable.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your tomatoes.
If you have stuffed the tomatoes and kept them in the fridge prior to baking bake for 5-10 minutes longer.
You could of substitute your favorite olives for the peppers, marinated artichoke or another favorite veggie previously roasted.
Enjoy warm from the oven. I have eaten these cold as well.

Notes

Nutritional information will vary based off if filling tomatoes with goat cheese and bread crumb topping or solely with breadcrumb mixture.
