Ingredients:
3 Large firm tomatoes
6 oz. artichokes hearts
10 oz. Frozen spinach, chopped
5 Green onions, chopped
2 tbsp. Sour cream or Alouette Crème Fraiche
1 tsp. Dried oregano
1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
1/4 C Parmesan cheese, grated
1-1/2 containers Alouette Light Garlic & Herbs Soft Spreadable Cheese
1/2 C Fresh crumbs, dried
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut tomatoes in half down the stem side
Cut out stems and scoop out all pulp and seeds
Dry inside and out with paper towels
Sprinkle salt and pepper into each half
Drain and chop artichoke hearts
Squeeze all moisture from chopped spinach
Chop green onions
In a large bowl, combine chopped ingredients with Alouette Soft Spreadable Cheese, sour cream (or Alouette Crème Fraiche if using), oregano, and Parmesan cheese.
Mix well and stuff each tomato half heaping full
Sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Place tomato halves in a foil pan and place in oven and cook till stuffing is completely hot or until done to your liking. Do not over cook
Tomatoes should be still somewhat firm to the touch so they don't fall apart after cooking.
