This recipe can be a side or add some ground beef and it becomes a main dish. A beautiful way to use fresh tomatoes. Pairs well with grilled foods.

This sounds like an updated (and tastier) version of what my great-aunt called 'Tomato Scallop'. I'll look forward to trying it :)


Can't go wrong with this one. It's fabulous and a great way to eat tomatoes. Thanks for sharing.


Sounds like a recipe I want to try with my fresh tomatoes from the garden! :)


Have you heard of an old Southern recipe for baked tomatoes, there's bread in it. My Grandmother made it and I've tried to duplicate. To my dismay it never turns out like her's. I would appreciate any input Chef!


This recipe sounds delicious. I have planted several tomato plants and this dish will come in handy. I think I make add sausage instead of pork.
