This recipe makes me almost want to become a vegetarian. As a matter of fact so does the food network. This diabetic thanks you for making so many foods that are good for us. C. Cox

These tomatoes were so simple to make & turned out wonderful! I used shallots instead of green onions & soft goat cheese. Next time, I will add a small amount of olive oil to the bread crumb mixture before baking, it was a little too crumbly.

Great tomatoes! My husband and I loved these tomatoes! The tomatoes were not mushy and the stuffing had exactly the right melding of flavors.

Absolutely delicious recipe, especially with good quality summer tomatoes. You can substitute all different kinds of cheeses with fabulous results...Gruyere, Havarti, Fontina, etc...it's all good!
Yum

These were some really tasty tomatoes. The only thing I would do different the next time around is double the stuffing. I ran out of the stuffing for 6 large tomatoes cut in half, but it still turned out extremely delicious.

Reading the other reviews really helped me with this recipe. I added just a small amount of olive oil to the bread crumb mixture. Also, I didn't have Gruyere on hand so I used grated parmesan. Still a very good, easy recipe with a very good looking presentation. Next time (and there will be many more of them) I will use Gruyere.

The fresh herbs made this a delicious tasting topping for the warm tomato. The cheese and olive oil added a blast of flavor as well.
Yummy & Easy

This is a perfect summer recipe. It's quick and delicious, and even better if you're lucky enough to use tomatoes from your own garden. I added 1-2 tablespoons of Olive Oil to slightly moisten the bread mixture. I prefer the bread mixture to be crunchy. It's an excellent contrast to the soft warm tomato.

The filling was very DRY. Was an ingredient left out? No moisture at all added to the bread crumb mixture until the end, then a little dribble of olive oil. When we select the 4x6 card to print the recipe, it doesn't include how many servings. We must go back to the original and then copy it on the printout. This is probably an oversight by the WebPage designers.
Something is missing!

I can't even believe I'm even rating ANYTHING of Ina's less than 5 stars, but this was so dry I am sure something was left out of the list of ingredients. There is no oil or moisture bonding the crumbs mixture together. What am I missing? Forgive me, Ina! I absolutely worship you!
a pleasant surprise

these are so easy and they flavor and the arome as they cook are simply divine. I have never tasted a tomatoe with so much flavor. I could have eaten them all. Thanks Ina!
Absolutely Fabulous-but needed tweaking

Needed to tweak recipe a bit - added more olive oil to bread mixture, decided against using gruyere to use a Trader Joe's shredded cheese mixture (parmesan, asiago, fontina and provalone) instead, which worked great- added a multi dimension of flavor. I also put some of the cheese into the bread mixture too, which definately moistened the mixture more. Added about a tsp. of sugar to counter the saltiness - also worked great. I also smashed my garlic into a paste, so that it covered the bread pieces a lot more. Worked great-a bit of garlic on every piece. Definately making this again.
GORGEOUS LOOKING!!!

This was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted--and I'm a far above average cook. Anyone who found this dry or taseless didn't do something right. I used tpomatoes on the vine from the grocery store--my garden isn't yielding yet, plain old Oroweat Bread, fresh basil parsley and thyme from my garden. My tomatoes were fairly small so I just topped them rather than cut in half. Heaven on a plate. I'm claiming the last one for my lunch today!
What A Winner!

Ths recipe is fantastic! It is so easy to fix. My husband loved them and requests them often. If you have leftovers ( which I doubt) you can spread them on toasted baqette slices and put under the broiler with a little more cheese. Heaven!!!

I have made the most fabulous recipes from Ina Garten however, this recipe is missing an ingredient and is as dry as can be. It's awful. I hesitated putting all the dry ingredients into the tomatoe without any kind of liquid like olive oil, or maybe mayonaise. This was a disaster and looks like something was left out of the recipe.
Pretty good, but not fantastic

I love tomatoes and can eat them like apples in the summer. I used on the vine tomatoes in this recipe, and I guess I expected that the topping would be a bit more exciting, and would make up for the mild flavor of winter tomatoes, but it didn't. Im sure this would be much better in mid summer with riper tomatoes.
too dry?

for those of you who thought the stuffing was too dry, maybe you used boxed dry bread crumbs instead of making your own from FRESH WHITE BREAD as the recipe calls for? Fresh bread will add moisture to the mix.

I used only two tomatoes (romas) and only dried herbs (didn't have any fresh). I wanted something for lunch that wasn't too fatening and had just watched your show. Wow! This recipe is soooooo good. Can hardly wait to make it with fresh herbs. Thanks!! Sharon in Tulsa, OK
