Hasselback this and Hasselback that….EVERYONE is on the Hasselback bandwagon. Now my turn!
I adore this dish and I think you will as well. Cheesy, smoky, crispy goodness between every slice of sweet tomatoes.
Note: prep time does not include time for drying biscuits.
Ingredients
8large plum tomatoes
1/4 poundshredded Gruyere cheese
1/4 poundshredded Provolone cheese
1 cupfreshly chopped basil
1/2 cuppure olive oil
1/2 cupdried biscuit crumbs
3 tablespoonsbutter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoonminced garlic in oil
To tastesalt and pepper
Preparation
1
Preheat broiler, making sure rack is at least 3 inches from heat source.
2
Slice each tomato very thinly on one side so it is able to sit up on a foil-lined baking pan without rolling. Now thinly slice each tomato into 1/4-inch slices; set aside.
3
Add cheeses, basil, olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper in a bowl and mix thoroughly. While separating each slice of each tomato, carefully stuff with equal amounts of cheese mixture.
4
In a small bowl, mix biscuit crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over each stuffed tomato.
5
Place tomatoes on broiler rack and cook for about 3 minutes, checking often, or until the top is nicely browned. Remove from broiler, turn heat off and immediately place in oven.
6
Allow tomatoes to continue cooking in the residual heat in the oven from the broiler for at least 5 minutes, or until hot throughout, not allowing tomatoes to get too soft.
