Jalapeño Stuffed Tomatoes
4 large tomatoes
1 1/2 oz. cheddar cheese
1 slice whole wheat bread
1 small onion
1 small pickled jalapeño peppers
Use tomatoes held at room temperature until fully ripe. Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut tomatoes in halves horizontally; scoop out seeds from between cell walls. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, place cheese, bread, onion and pepper; process until mixture is crumbly. Spoon onto tomato halves, dividing mixture evenly. Press lightly into cavities. Place in a shallow baking pan containing 1/4-inch hot water. Bake, uncovered, until tomatoes and filling are hot, about 20 minutes.
