Ingredients:
4 ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
2 tsp chopped fresh sweet basil (I always use fresh)
4 pats of real butter
4 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Wash the tomatoes and cut the stem end off. Take a spoon and scoop a little of the flesh out. Add salt and pepper and 1 tsp of sugar to each of the tomatoes. Add sweet basil or your favority herb. Add 1 pat of butter and equal amount of cheese for each tomato. Arrange tomatoes in a baking dish and cook 30 minutes at 350 degrees. These are juicy and delicious. Don't throw the juice out use it as gravy. I also cook these on the grill. Just wrap each one up in foil and let them cook. Delicious.
