Baked Tuna Stuffed Tomato With Pepper Jack Cheese

Good morning fellow foodies. I know, I know....it's been quite some time since I have blogged and for that I apologize. I'm sorry....really, I am.

So we all know that I am legitimately obsessed with poultry but a girl needs a break sometimes! I think I have found something new to be obsessed with and I have to share it with you. You will love it!

This recipe combines the flavors of pepper jack cheese, white albacore tuna, a touch of garlic, and a big and juicy tomato. When these ingredients come together it makes something so magically delicious and the best thing about it is that it is HEALTHY!

Ingredients:

1 3oz can white albacore tuna (If not available then divide a regular can into two portions)
1 slice pepper jack cheese divided in half
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1 large tomato
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Take the tomato and hollow it out. Basically, cut the top off, take a knife and run it along the sides of the tomato leaving some "meat" on the shell. Discard the insides of the tomato as well as the top.



Next, drain the tuna and put it into a small bowl.  Take half of the slice of cheese and break into small pieces. Add cheese, garlic, salt and pepper to bowl and stir to incorporate ingredients.

Add tuna mixture into tomato and place the slice of pepper jack cheese on top. 

Place on baking dish and bake until cheese of top is melted and bubbly, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Voila! Enjoy!
