Yield: 4 Servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
4 mediums | Tomatoes |
¼ teaspoon | Garlic powder |
4 \N | (1-inch) cubes Cheddar cheese |
4 teaspoons | Dijon-style mustard |
½ cup | Chopped onion |
4 dashes | Worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon | Dried leaf basil or oregano (or to taste) |
4 slices | Swiss cheese; thin (1/2 oz), each about 3x6-inch |
1 tablespoon | Chopped chives or parsley |
Cut thin slice from top of tomatoes, then hollow out tomato, cutting out flesh to leave a shell with sides about ¼-inch thick & top opening about 2 inches wide. Chop tomato flesh. Layer garlic powder, Cheddar cheese, mustard & onion (in that order) in shells. Top onion with as much chopped tomato as will comfortably fit, then season with Worcestershire & basil or oregano. Fold each Swiss cheese slice in half; top each tomato with a folded slice, letting some of it hang over edges. (At this point you may cover & refrigerate up to a day). To bake, preheat oven to 350. Line a baking pan with foil. Arrange tomatoes in pan; bake 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly & lightly browned. Serve hot. Makes 4 servings.
