Recipe Instructions:

  1. Prepare Tomatoes: Carefully slice the top off each tomato and scoop out the inside, creating a hollow space for the filling.

  2. Chill Tomatoes: Place the hollowed-out tomatoes in a bowl of ice water. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you’re ready to assemble and serve the stuffed tomatoes. This step helps to keep the tomatoes fresh and crisp.

  3. Prepare Cheese Filling: In a food processor, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese and low-fat cottage cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl.

  4. Add Flavor: To the cheese mixture, add the crumbled blue cheese. Adjust the amount based on your preference for the intensity of the blue cheese flavor. Add a dash of Tabasco sauce for a hint of spice. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you’re ready to assemble the stuffed tomatoes.

  5. Drain Tomatoes: When you’re ready to serve, remove the tomatoes from the refrigerator and drain them on paper towels. This step ensures that excess moisture is removed, preventing the filling from becoming too watery.

  6. Stuff Tomatoes: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each hollowed-out tomato with the prepared blue cheese mixture. Pack the filling tightly to ensure each tomato is generously stuffed.

  7. Serve: Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a serving platter, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
