Ingredients

  • 2 large tomatoes, such as beefsteak (about 1 pound)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 slices bacon (about 3 ounces) - finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and excess liquid squeezed out
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/3 cup fine bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, optional

Directions

Position an oven rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.

Cut the tomatoes crosswise, and pop out the seeds. Season with some of the salt and place cut-side down on a paper towel to drain.

Cook the bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel with the tomatoes. Cook the shallot until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, stir until heated through and somewhat dry, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a board to cool.

Add the crisp bacon into a bowl and toss with the spinach, cheese, and bread crumbs.

Place the tomato on a foil-lined baking pan, season with pepper and stuff each with some of the spinach stuffing. Broil until warm throughout and tops are brown, about 5 minutes. Serve.

    Substituted 2 cloves garlic for shallots. Added 1 tbl lemon to the spinach saute and added an egg to the complete mix. My husband loved it!

    I really enjoyed the recipe. I have never been able to eat raw or cooked tomatos but this recipe is so wonderful I could not stop from having seconds. WOW

    Easy, appetizing, and lends itself to improvisation. Sounds like the people who rated it poorly had nothing better to do than test recipes the same day they air and use an inappropriate forum to complain if the recipe is late.
