Stuffed & Baked Tomatoes!

If you don't like tomatoes, don't stop reading! My sweet husband isn't a fan of tomatoes, but we both love this yummy summer side dish....

Select 2 ripe, but firm tomatoes and cut in half
1/4 cup crushed croutons
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
fresh, shredded parsley
salt & pepper to taste
4 Tbl melted butter
shredded cheddar cheese

Mix croutons, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley in a small bowl. Melt butter and pour over over crushed crouton mix. Scoop out inside of tomato halves. (Leave lots of the juicy good stuff too!) Fill the inside of the tomatoes with crouton mix and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in a greased dish for 20 - 30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted!

We usually make 4 tomato halves but you can obviously double or cut in half. I also sometimes mix in dried italian seasonings too! Hope you enjoy :) Happy weekend!
