Tomatoes Florentine
List of Ingredients
6 medium tomatoes
6 slices bacon
2 packages chopped spinach
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cream
Salt, pepper, and sugar
Recipe
Cut off and discard top half of tomatoes (or slice and save for
later). Scoop out and discard the seeds and pulp. Sprinkle the inside
lightly with salt, pepper, and sugar. Invert on paper towels to drain
for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a skillet, saute bacon until crisp;
drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Pour off all but 1/4 cup of fat. Saute spinach and garlic 2 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in eggs, cheese, cream, 2/3 of bacon pieces,
and salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the inside of each tomato with two tablespoons Parmesan
cheese. Fill shells with spinach mixture; top with more cheese.
Arrange tomatoes in a lightly oiled baking dish and bake 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with remaining bacon and serve.
Serves 6.
