I wasn't sure about just broiling. I cut the tomatoes and then used the Rachel Ray squeeze. Left nice little pockets for the filling. I used half a sleeve of crackers, 2 T of butter, 3 slices of cooked bacon and equal amount of blue cheese for 2 medium tomatoes. I lightly salted, peppered and red pepper flaked the tomatoes. Melted the butter added rest of ingredients (less the green onions, mixed, stuffed and sprinkled w/ hot pepper sauce, baked at 425 until the tomatoes just started to collapse. I think this mellowed the blue cheese. I still had chicken to bake so when everything was ready I put the tomatoes back under the broiler for a few minutes. Melt in your mouth and I'm pretty sure they would serve these in heaven. Obviously I like spice so maybe it's not Heaven.... :0
