Jalapeno and Cheese stuffed Tomatoes



I love doing a tapas night and I usually use those nights to experiment on my husband. Tonight I decided to put my own twist on stuffed tomatoes by adding a little kick of jalapeno. They were delicious and super easy to make. You can use these as an appetizer for holiday parties or just for your own tapas night.

Ingredients

3 tomatoes
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 jalapeno seeded and shopped finely
1 clove of garlic minced
1 pinch of salt to taste
1 tbs of olive oil

Cut tomatoes in half and scoop out the innards. Place them on a greased baking
sheet. In a bowl mix together mascarpone cheese, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs (leaving a little to top), jalapeno and garlic. If it become hard to mix add a small amount of water to help mix the ingredients together. Add a pinch of salt depending on how salty your parmesan cheese. Scoop a spoonful of cheese mixture into each tomato in equal amounts. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
