Cheesy Baked Tomato Slices
A really unique and delicious dish perfect for a low carb snack or serve it on a toasted slice of bread for breakfast. Either way, you won’t be able to have JUST one.
The ingredients and prep are so easy on this one, just make sure you get yourself some fairly large tomatoes. You want to be able to have a large enough opening so that you can fill it with the cheesy mixture you make. Once you get the tomatoes sliced into large rounds, you will remove the flesh carefully, leaving a nice thick border of the tomato slice. Take the flesh and chop into small pieces.
Make sure you season your mixture with some garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix everything togegther with the eggs, spinach and feta and dollop it in! Top with your shredded cheese of choice and bake until golden brown. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!

Cheesy Feta Tomato Slices
Ingredients
- 2 extra large tomatoes
- 3 eggs
- 1 handful baby spinach, chopped
- 1/2 block feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- garnish with fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice your tomatoes into thick, round slices. Using a small paring knife, remove the internal parts of the tomato from each slice (MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE LEAVE A NICE THICK BORDER ON THE TOMATO SLICES). Chop up the insides into small pieces. Set your round pieces on your baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, beat your eggs. Next add in the chopped tomato pieces, chopped spinach, feta and seasonings and mix to combine. Fill each tomato round with the mixture. Top each with some shredded mozzarella and bake for 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
These tasted great and they seem very easy to modify. I think I’d be happy making these in a frying pan as well, but you won’t get the nice crusty cheese top that you do in the oven.
You’re right, these would turn out great in the pan too! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the feedback!
Delicious, and so quick to throw together!
Hi Alexandra! I agree and thank you for the kind review!
Have you ever tried using blue cheese instead of feta?
Hi Karla, you can use any cheese you like here!
It looks like the tomatoes are on some sort of toast. Will they hold together on their own?
This has become one of our faves and for any meal! Last night we had them for dinner with a Greek salad, although we usually have them for breakfast. So delicious and FAST to make! Almost always have these ingredients on hand! I love all your recipes. Thank you SO MUCH!
Hi April, glad you love these slices and thank you for taking the time to comment!!
These look great! I’m going to make today. Can you clarify how much cheese in ounces? Not sure how much half a block would be.
TIA
Hi Pat, hope you enjoyed!! Half a block of feta is about 4 ounces.
Love all your recipes you are wonderful Lady . Love you
