Tomatoes with cheese in the oven - tips and useful tips

- Soft grated cheese will not work. Therefore, if there is no other, it is better to cut it into slices or use tomatoes for the filling.
- Garlic should be put in moderation, otherwise it will kill creamy cheese taste. But completely abandon it is not worth it. A small amount of garlic adds a savory flavor to the dish.
- You should not throw out the tomato flesh. It can be used to prepare a salad, tomato puree soup or dressing for borscht.
- When the recipe provides for driving eggs into a tomato jug, the latter should be small. Otherwise they will flow out of the tomatoes.
- Quail eggs can be used instead of chicken eggs.
