- - Cut off the top of each tomato and remove seeds; set aside the tops and pulp from the tomatoes. Chop the basil leaves (or parsley).
- - In a small bowl put the goat's cheese and crush it roughly with a fork; mix it with the breadcrumbs, egg, basil (or parsley), the tomato seeds, the 2 Tbs. olive oil and pepper, until well blended. Taste and adjust
- seasoning if needed.

- Trick :You can make this stuffing with zucchinis as well; in this case, you will need to add a bit of milk in your stuffing to make it softer (the tomato seeds were doing that !).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live in Hilliard, Ohio and I work for a restaurant equipment and design distributor. I hated to cook when I was young and did not really have a passion for it until I married my husband 13 years ago. He's a Mikey - will eat just about anything so he is a lot of fun to cook for. It is hard to say what my favorite cookbook is. I have the standard Betty Crocker that is about 30 years old and so beat up. But it is great for the basics. I love Taste of Home and other cooking magazines such as that. I tend to spend my time reading recipes, clipping them out and then storing them in a notebook according to category to be tried at a later date. Needless to say, the notebook is overflowing with recipes that have not been tried yet!!! <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/AMPageBanner.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg></p>
