Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make stuffed tomatoes baked in the oven? Prepare your food. Choose tomatoes that are large enough to accommodate a portion of minced meat. Any minced meat is suitable — pork, beef, chicken, turkey or a mixture of these types of meat. I took chicken. Choose cheese that melts well.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the onion and cut into cubes. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion over low heat until transparent.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the tomatoes. Cut off the top and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon. Do not throw away the pulp; some of it will be useful for filling.

Step 4

Step 4
Add the minced meat to the onion and fry it well, stirring from time to time with a spatula and breaking up any lumps.

Step 5

Step 5
Add chopped parsley and some tomato pulp. Season with salt and pepper. Fry the minced meat for another 10 minutes over low heat.

Step 6

Step 6
Transfer the filling to the tomatoes. Grate the cheese. Place a little grated cheese on top of each tomato.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish. Bake them in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 20 minutes (until the cheese melts). There is no need to bake longer as the tomatoes may lose their shape.

Step 8

Step 8
Remove the finished tomatoes from the oven, cool slightly and serve as a separate dish or with any side dish. Bon appetit!
