How To Make three cheese stuffed tomatoes - cassies
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Spray a casserole with nonstick cooking spray, just large enough to hold the tomatoes. In a medium bowl, combine Ricotta, Parmesan, Asiago, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, onion powder, red pepper flakes, parsley together. Set aside.
-
Step 2Slice tomatoes in half lengthwise and remove the insides. Make sure you remove any remaining juices with a paper towel.
-
Step 3Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture into each tomato halve.
-
Step 4In a small bowl combine bread crumbs with the bacon crumbles. Carefully dip each tomato top into the crumbs. Drizzle each with a small amount of olive oil. Place into casserole dish. Diagonally lay 1 strip of roasted red pepper atop each tomato.
-
Step 5Place tomatoes into preheated oven and bake for approx. 25 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender and cheese is heated through. I plated mine on a pieces of fresh spinach...enjoy!
