- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the insides, creating a hollow shell. Set the tomato tops aside.
In a bowl, mix the fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Stuff the hollowed tomatoes with the cheese mixture and place them in a
baking dish.
Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the stuffed tomatoes and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.
Place the reserved tomato tops back on each stuffed tomato.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the cheese is melted.
Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
