PIZZA IN A TOMATO SHELL

"The taste of pizza stuffed into a tomato."

4 ripe Florida tomatoes*
1 cup diced part skim mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp unseasoned dry bread crumbs
3/4 tsp crushed dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp crushed dried oregano
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 tsp vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut a thin slice from stem end of each tomato. Scoop out pulp from tomatoes leaving 1/4-inch thick shells; coarsely chop 1/2 cup pulp. Place tomato shells in a greased baking pan.

In a small bowl combine chopped tomato, cheese, 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs, basil, salt, oregano and black pepper. Spoon into tomato shells.

Combine oil and remaining 1 tablespoon bread crumbs. Sprinkle on top of each tomato.

Bake, uncovered, until cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

*Use tomatoes held at room temperature until fully ripe.

Makes 4 servings
