Ingredients
- 2 large tomatoes, such as beefsteak (about 1 pound)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 slices bacon (about 3 ounces) – finely chopped
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and excess liquid squeezed out
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/3 cup fine bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, optional
Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
- Cut the tomatoes crosswise, and pop out the seeds. Season with some of the salt and place cut-side down on a paper towel to drain.
- Cook the bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel with the tomatoes. Cook the shallot until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, stir until heated through and somewhat dry, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a board to cool.
- Add the crisp bacon into a bowl and toss with the spinach, cheese, and bread crumbs.
- Place the tomato on a foil-lined baking pan, season with pepper and stuff each with some of the spinach stuffing. Broil until warm throughout and tops are brown, about 5 minutes. Serve.

Reviews
Substituted 2 cloves garlic for shallots. Added 1 tbl lemon to the spinach saute and added an egg to the complete mix. My husband loved it!
I really enjoyed the recipe. I have never been able to eat raw or cooked tomatos but this recipe is so wonderful I could not stop from having seconds. WOW
Easy, appetizing, and lends itself to improvisation. Sounds like the people who rated it poorly had nothing better to do than test recipes the same day they air and use an inappropriate forum to complain if the recipe is late.
This is a good recipe, the only reason it has a low rating is the people at the beginning who rated it low for not being on-line right after the show (which clearly doesn’t make this a bad recipe). Try this one at home, just make sure your family likes the taste of spinach.
Little Dry Drain some of the scooped out tomato finely chopped and a little extra virgin olive oil. Then stuff. They were great.
Thanks Tyler GREAT JOB
we all loved it.easy to make .
This recipe was very easy to prepare. I substituted cous-cous for the bread crumbs & added roasted garlic.

I have never made stuffed tomatoes before. This recipe was so easy I had to try it. My family went nuts over it. It now has been added to the rotation. Thanks for your show “How to Boil Water”
Why are so many people making a point to choose to come to the site and rate the recipe with a low rating without having tried it in the first place??? I realize the recipe was not posted immediately but why would you use this site for that purpose, to inform Food Network the recipe was not here and then even rate it at all before making it??? Beyond me! The tomatoes were awesome, by the way.
They were easy to make and my family loved them.
