This is absolutely delicious and if you happen to have home-grown tomatoes, it's even better!
6 medium to large tomatoes
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 T. finely chopped fresh basil
sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese
4-5 sun dried tomatoes - diced (if dried, put in boiling water for 1 min)
1/3 cup olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup parsley
2 T. capers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut tomatoes in half - not through the stem attachment. The stem attachment should become the bottom of one half. Carefully cut it out without making too big of a hole.
Remove the seeds and tomato insides while leaving the walls intact. Chop the insides and set aside.
Turn the tomato halves upside down to drain on a paper towel.
Mix the bread crumbs, grated cheese, capers, basil, parsley, tomato insides, sun dried tomatoes, salt & pepper.
Blend in the olive oil.
Stuff tomatoes with mixture, adding oil if it seems too dry.
Place on a lightly greased baking sheet with stuffing facing up.
Bake for 20 minutes. Allow more time for large tomatoes - watch closely.
Top with mozzarella and bake 5-10 minutes longer until it melts.
Enjoy!
