Ingredients
2 large tomatoes (about the size of a tennis ball)1Tb very finely chopped onion2 cloves minced garlic1/2 c frozen chopped spinachseveral fresh basil leaves, chopped4 Tb shredded Parmesan cheese4 Tb fine breadcrumbsNon stick cooking spray
First, prep the tomatoes. Cut them in half, right through the "equator", between the stem and blossom ends. Over a bowl, gently squeeze out most of the seeds and juice, keeping as much flesh as possible inside the tomato. On a plate covered with a few paper towels, invert the tomato halves to drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a small pan, place onions and a few tablespoons of water and simmer until onions soften, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and simmer another 2 minutes, adding a bit more water if necessary. Add the frozen chopped spinach and simmer over medium-high heat until nearly all the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil.
Heat oven to 450.
Line a baking pan or rimmed baking sheet (to catch any juicy run-off) with foil, and spray with non stick cooking spray.
Top each tomato with 1/4 of the spinach mixture, tucking into crevices. Top each with 1Tb of shredded Parmesan, and finally 1 Tb of bread crumbs. Spray the bread crumb topping with cooking spray.
Cook at 450 for 8-10 minutes. Check frequently as the tops can brown quickly!
Serving Size: serves four, a half tomato per serving
