Herbed Stuffed Tomatoes
Yield: Makes 5 servings
The fat content of cottage cheese varies widely. Creamed cottage cheese can have as much as 4% fat, low-fat cottage cheese ranges from 1% to 2% fat and dry curd cottage cheese, made without added cream, has less than 1/2% fat. In this recipe, the 1% cottage cheese adds a little richness to the filling without adding a lot of fat.
Ingredients:
15
cherry tomatoes
1/2
cup low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
1
tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
1

1/2
teaspoon snipped fresh dill or 1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8

Preparation:
1.
Cut thin slice off bottom of each tomato. Scoop out pulp with small spoon; discard pulp. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain.
2.
Combine cottage cheese, green onion, chervil, dill and lemon pepper in small bowl. Spoon into tomatoes. Serve at once, or cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours.
