Step 1:
How to make stuffed tomatoes baked in the oven? Prepare the products. Choose tomatoes of a fairly large size to fit a portion of minced meat in them. Minced meat is suitable for any — pork, beef, chicken, turkey or mixed from these types of meat. I took the chicken. Take the cheese that melts well.
Step 2:
Peel the onion, cut into cubes. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion over low heat until transparent.
Step 3:
Wash tomatoes. Cut off the top and spoon out the pulp with the seeds. Do not throw away the pulp, some of it will be useful for filling.
Step 4:
Add the minced meat to the onion and fry it well, stirring from time to time with a spatula and breaking the lumps.
Step 5:
Add chopped parsley and some tomato pulp. Season with salt and pepper. Fry the minced meat for another 10 minutes on low heat.
Step 6:
Transfer the filling to the tomatoes. Grate the cheese. Place a little grated cheese on top of each tomato.
Step 7:
Put the stuffed tomatoes in a baking container. Bake them in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 20 minutes (until the cheese melts). It is not necessary to bake longer, since tomatoes can lose their shape.
Step 8:
Remove the finished tomatoes from the oven, cool slightly and serve as an independent dish or with any side dish. Enjoy your meal!

Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
