Cream Spinach Stuffed Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place the cream in a small pot and reduce by half by gently simmering 20 minutes.
• Heat a medium skillet with olive oil over medium heat, add onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper and saute until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the spinach by wringing dry in clean kitchen towel. Separate the spinach with your hands and add to onions and garlic. Season spinach with nutmeg then stir in the reduced cream. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler.
• Trim the tops off tomatoes and scoop out the seeds. Stuff tomatoes with creamed spinach and top each with 1/4 cup blue cheese. Broil to brown the cheese. Garnish the tomatoes with chives.

Steps:

• Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/2-in. thick shell. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain., Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Add spinach; cook and stir 7 minutes. In a bowl, combine bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Set aside 1/4 cup for topping. Add spinach and cheese to remaining crumb mixture. Sprinkle tomato shells with garlic salt and pepper; stuff with spinach mixture. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Melt remaining butter; toss with reserved crumbs. Sprinkle over tomatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until crumbs are lightly browned.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 2. Grease a baking dish.
• 3. Cut off the tops of the tomatoes and scoop out just the pulp, leaving the walls intact. Pour the juice of the tomatoes into a measuring cup to reserve 1/4 cup. Sprinkle the inside of each tomato with salt and turn upside down onto a paper towel.
• 4. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add spinach and garlic, saute for about 2 minutes. Then add reserved tomato juice and wine. Let cook for another few minutes.
• 5. Remove saucepan from heat. Now add Parmesan, feta and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well. Add more panko if needed.
• 6. Spoon this mixture evenly into each tomato til slightly over flowing, as in photo.
• 7. Bake uncovered on middle rack for about 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on them so that they don't brown too much. Then remove from oven.
• 8. Allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm.
• 9. These can also be made using cherry tomatoes and served as orderves.

Steps:

• 1. First, cut the tops off the tomatoes and hollow them out. I use a melon-baller to hollow out my tomatoes. Then turn the tomatoes upside down and place them onto a paper towel so that they can drain very well (this keeps them from turning into baked mush).
• 2. In a heavy skillet, cook the bacon to your liking (I prefer very crispy, just before burnt, bacon). Then pull the bacon out to drain but leave the drippings in the pan. Once they're drained, chop the bacon down to coarse bacon bits and set aside.
• 3. Add the chopped onions into the skillet and cook until they are tender.
• 4. Chop up the baby spinach and add it to the onions and continue to cook until the spinach is wilted nicely.
• 5. Once the onions and spinach are done, cut the heat and add in the sour cream, tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, and about half of the chopped bacon that you cooked. Stir together until well blended.
• 6. Turn the tomatoes right side up and fill with the spinach mixture. Top each tomato with about a tablespoon or two of crumbled gorgonzola cheese, depending on how large the tomatoes are. Then sprinkle with remaining bacon bits and place them onto a prepared baking sheet.
• 7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. at 12 minutes, the tomatoes should still be warm and firm and the gorgonzola wil have just started to melt, at 20 minutes, the tomatoes will be less firm but the gorgonzola will be more melted.
• 8. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the top off of each tomato. Use a grapefruit knife (or a paring knife) to cut out the inside of the tomato. You may need to use your fingers to pull it out after cutting. Use a spoon to remove any leftover seeds or pulp.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the spinach with the sour cream, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Gently spoon the mixture into each tomato and top with the gruyere. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Place oven rack about 6-inches from heat. Preheat broiler.
• Cut off 1/4-inch from the stem end of each tomato.
• Scoop out pulp and seeds from the tomatoes.
• Place cut side up in an 8 X 8-inch glass.
• In a nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onionand cook until tender. Stir occasionally.
• Stir in the creamed spinach, salt, cayenne, and pepper and cook until mixture simmers. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese mix well.
• Evenly spoon the mixture into the tomatoes; sprinkle 1/4 cup of the left over cheese. Broil 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted, and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Cut tops from tomatoes; remove seeds and membranes. Place tomato shells upside down on paper towels to drain until filling.
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, reserve drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. Return 2 tablespoons of drippings to skillet.
• Cook onion in the bacon drippings until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream, reserved crumbled bacon, and hot pepper sauce.
• Sprinkle tomato shells with salt; fill evenly with bacon and spinach mixture. Place tomatoes in prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until hot, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove, and top evenly with the shredded cheese. Return to the oven; bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
