Stuffed Tomatoes With Sausage Cheese And Basil Recipe 465

Steps:

• Cut off the top of the tomato and remove the insides. Fill with cooked sausage, crack in an egg and added shredded cheese.
• Drizzle some olive oil over the top. Bake in oven at 425°F (218°C) for 15 - 20 minutes, depending on how well done you like your egg.
• Season with some pepper and garnish with basil.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a serrated knife, slice off the top quarter of each tomato and reserve the tops. Scoop out the pulp from inside each tomato and transfer it to a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cayenne to the food processor and process until smooth; pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, herbes de Provence, bell pepper, onion, diced celery and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sausage browns, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage mixture and bread cubes to the food processor and pulse until chopped. Pack the tomatoes with the sausage-bread mixture so the stuffing is domed on top. Put the stuffed tomatoes in the baking dish on top of the sauce.
• Place the basil, walnuts, cheese and celery leaves in the food processor and chop. Sprinkle onto the tomatoes. Put the tomato tops, cut-side down, between the stuffed tomatoes. Bake until the stuffing is golden, about 20 minutes. Cover each tomato with a top and serve with the sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and use a knife to cut around the inside, separating the flesh from the skin. Scoop out the flesh. Place the tomatoes in a small baking dish. In a small bowl combine the canned tomatoes with the bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of cheese and the sausage; mix well. Spoon the mixture into the tomato skins and top with the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• For vinaigrette:
• Blend all ingredients in blender until basil is very finely chopped and vinaigrette is thick; season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
• For salad:
• Cut small skin-deep X on end opposite stem of each tomato. Drop tomatoes into saucepan of boiling water; cook 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to plate. Starting at X, peel skin off tomatoes. Cut 1/3 to 1/2 inch off end opposite stem of each tomato. Using small spoon, scoop out insides of tomatoes, leaving shells intact. Mix cubed mozzarella cheese and chopped basil in medium bowl. Divide cheese mixture among tomato shells, packing gently. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover tomatoes and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
• Invert 1 filled tomato on each plate. Pour vinaigrette into 6 shot glasses. Place 1 shot glass next to each tomato. Garnish each tomato with basil leaf.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Core tomatoes with a paring knife and cut a larger 2"-wide circle on top of each. Using a small spoon, scoop out insides. Place tomatoes upside-down on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and let drain while you prep the filling. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage mixture to a large paper towel-lined bowl to soak up grease. Discard paper towel and stir in basil, Panko, fontina, and Parmesan. Place tomatoes in a small baking dish and season insides with salt and pepper.Stuff tomatoes with sausage mixture (filling will shrink as you cook, so be sure to mound tops until they look like they're overflowing). Bake until cheese is melting and tops are golden,15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 to10 minutes and serve with a simple green salad.
