Tomatoes stuffed with cheese and garlic are a traditional appetizer on the festive table, the recipe of which is familiar to everyone from childhood. You can diversify your favorite dish by adding new ingredients - ham, shrimps, pickled mushrooms, while the taste of the dish will not only not suffer, but will sparkle with new colors. Thus, you can make a real assortment of stuffed tomato ok and invite guests to choose a snack to their liking.

Before stuffing a tomato, you must thoroughly clean it of pulp, seeds and remove excess water so that the filling does not become too watery. The top of the tomato is cut just above the middle, the pulp is cut with a thin knife, the seeds can be removed by hand. In order for the juice to flow to the end, it is recommended to turn the tomato cut down and hold it in this position for several minutes.

Before you buy tomatoes for stuffing, you need to remember that not all varieties are suitable for this snack. Most often, you can find three types of tomatoes in stores: the usual round, plum and cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are ideal for light snacks, as they are small and easily eaten in one bite. Regular round tomatoes go well when the recipe requires stuffed tomatoes to be baked, and the cold-looking appetizer from them will be very appropriate, you just need to choose small fruits. Plum tomatoes are less suitable for this dish, because after stuffing they cannot be placed vertically, due to their elongated shape, they can only be served in a horizontal position, although this serving option can also be advantageously beaten.

To give new taste your favorite snack, you can just change the type of cheese. IN classic recipe hard cheese is used, but if you replace it with processed cheese, the taste of the dish will become much softer. You can also stuff tomatoes with salted feta cheese or soft Philadelphia cheese, and each time we get a completely new snack. Lovers of Maasdam cheese should refrain from experimenting, the sweet and sour taste of the cheese is so strong that it can overpower the rest of the ingredients in the appetizer.

How to cook from a photo step by step

First, we make the filling from the egg and hard cheese for stuffed tomatoes. For her we need fresh chicken eggs which we boil in salted water for 4 minutes after boiling. After that, they need to be cooled in cold water so that the shells separate from the egg easily. We clean the cooled eggs.




Egg yolk is used in this recipe in two ways - as a filling for tomatoes, and as a decoration. Separate it from the boiled egg, and rub it on a fine grater in a separate saucer.




For stuffing stuffed tomatoes, salted or semi-salted cheese is best. In the event that you have unleavened cheese, or sweetish, you will have to add salt to the filling, and its taste will not be so pronounced. Perfect option- is to use salted cheese with spices and herbs, for example, "Hunter". The cheese must be grated on a fine grater.






For the filling to be tender, but at the same time piquant, you need to add a few cloves of garlic to it. They must be peeled and chopped by passing through a press, or finely chopped with a sharp knife. Now in a deep plate, put together all the components of the tomato filling - grated eggs and cheese, garlic, add high fat mayonnaise (67% or 72%, salt if necessary. Stir until the cheese and egg mass is completely homogeneous).




Now let's prepare our tomato cups. We take a tomato and cut off the top with a sharp knife so that it is convenient to remove the seeds.




Next, you need to get all the seeds and veins from the tomato, it is very convenient to do this with a teaspoon. Now the tomatoes are completely ready to be filled with delicious egg-cheese spicy paste.






We place the filling in each tomato, carefully tamping it so that there are no voids left in the tomato. We fill it to the very top.




After doing the painstaking, but such a pleasant job of stuffing tomatoes, we proceed to the next stage - this is the decor. Pour grated yolk on top of each tomato.




Finely chop fresh herbs (parsley, dill, onion), pour on top of the tomatoes. Transfer the tomatoes stuffed with egg and cheese to a flat dish and serve.
