Hi Everyone,
Today is another edition of the Secret Recipe Club and I was assigned Bizzy Bakes Blog. Let me tell you I found the most wonderful, healthy recipe that is so perfect for this time of year and best of all it’s so delicious, that I will be making it again and again!
This is Bizzy Bakes Feta Stuffed Tomato. It’s amazing and makes for a great use for those wonderful plump, juicy tomatoes that are now in season. I really had a hard time deciding on what to make off of Bizzy’s blog. I wanted to so bad make her Cherry Lemon Tea Bread, but being that it’s hot I couldn’t turn the oven on, so I am going to make that recipe at a later time. it just looks fantastic. She also had a Tomato, Avocado and Onion Salad that looked so divine. I kept her blog page up on my computer for like two weeks, because I really couldn’t decide what to make, until I came across her Feta Stuffed Tomato. I wanted a nice light lunch and I had all of the ingredients, and I just had to give it a try and I was not disappointed at all.
The combination of feta, tomato, scallions and tortilla chips is fantastic! I served one of these for myself and gave the other one to my Husband. He really enjoyed them too! It was light, refreshing and the taste of the tomato, oh yah! Just plain old good!!! I am not much for words today, but trust me when I say, it’s GOOD!!!!
- Serves: 2 Halves
- Serving size: the Whole Recipe
- 1 large tomato
- 1 oz feta cheese, fat free
- 1 tbsp. taco chip crumbs (I used 2 tortilla chips)
- 1 tbsp. parsley, chopped or ½ tabsp. dried
- 1 tbsp. scallions, chopped
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper; set a side.
- Cut the tomato in half, horizontally. Scoop out pulp and place in small bowl. I used a grapefruit spoon to scrape the pulp. Cut the pulp into small pieces and place in a small bowl and add, feta cheese, taco chip crumbs, scallions, parsley and olive oil; mix well.
- Spoon the tomato and cheese mixture into the tomato shells and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake in oven for 15 minutes, until tomatoes have softened and cheese is soft.
I really loved this recipe and I love Bizzy Bakes Blog. She has a thing for mangos, beans and healthy food. I am really happy I was assigned her blog because she has some fantastic recipes. I highly recommend you check her blog out.

Thank you Miz Helen! I hope you have a great week too!
Those look so fresh and delicious – I love fresh tomatoes this time of year and the chips make it so fun! I was lucky enough to be assigned to your blog this month and I chose to make your Thin Mint cookies – they were amazing! Thanks for the inspiration!
The chips really add some nice flavor too, with a slight crunch and some saltines!
I am thrilled you liked this dish. I do too.
I so appreciate your positive comments and enthusiasm. I hope to visit you a lot and get some new ideas. Thanks for “cooking” from my blog.
Thank you so much! I love your blog! You have such wonderful recipes!!
Mmmmm mmmm so fresh and PERFECT for summer! Would be a great appetizer for a summer BBQ.
Your so right! I add both halves for lunch and they were perfect, but for a side dish they would be perfect!
this looks so tasty. wow thanks for picking such a perfect summer recipe for SRC!
Thanks Maria! I thought it was perfect for the summer!!
Oh they look so good! I’ll need to think about making them since this week we’re heading for a heat wave of temps over 90 degrees and high humidity. Great SRC choice!
Thanks Heather. If you make them, you will love them! Baked tomatoes are so yummy!
I’m itching for those first garden tomatoes. What a great way to use them.
Thanks Jeanie! I love the tomatoes like this!!
I love the idea of the tortilla chips in here for crispness and that delicious corn flavor!
Not only do the chips add a crispiness, but it also adds a little saltiness, which I love!
This is such a fabulous idea! I love stuffed tomatoes!
I never had a stuffed tomato and now I have a bazillion ideas on what to stuff in a tomato! This is a wonderful recipe.
What a great way to eat those juicy tomatoes around this time of year!
