Preparation

Step 1

Slice off the top of each tomato and scoop out the insides using a knife and a spoon. You can discard the “guts” of the tomato, use it in another recipe, eat it as-is, or feed it to your pig. Set tomato cups aside.

In a bowl, mix together tuna and yogurt with a fork until well blended. Add all remaining herb and vegetable ingredients and mix well with a fork.

Stuff the tuna mixture into the tomato cups. Use your fork to really press it in there and make it compact.

Top each tomato with a slice of Pepper Jack Cheese and place on a baking pan or baking dish. I like to use a loaf pan, since it is small and deep.

Set in the oven on broil for 3 minutes or until cheese melts and gets a little bit brown on top.

Serve immediately with salad greens or a side of your choosing
