Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 6 medium tomatoes
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh herbs (like basil, cilantro, parsley, etc)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking dish large enough to hold all of the tomatoes. Cut the top off of the tomatoes and gently scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds. Arrange the tomatoes, cut-side up in the baking dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, goat cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Gently spoon the quinoa mixture evenly into the tomatoes.
  • Bake until the tomatoes begin to soften and the quinoa filling turns golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tomatoes and continue baking until the cheese turns golden, an additional 5 minutes.
