Print Recipe

Irresistibly delicious stuffed tomatoes filled with fresh mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (tightly packed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice off the top 1/4 to 1/2 inch from each tomato and set aside.
  2. Hollow out the inner pulp, seeds, and juice without breaking the outer shell. Sprinkle a little salt inside and let them drain upside down for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, dice the mozzarella, chiffonade the basil, and mix with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pat the insides of the tomatoes dry and stuff them with the mozzarella mixture.
  5. Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a platter, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with basil if desired.

Notes

Let your tomatoes drain adequately to prevent sogginess and avoid overfilling to allow for cheese expansion.
