Tip

Seeding Tomatoes

Summer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

 This sounded really good but not sure about only cooking that GLOP with the raw egg in it for 2 or 3 minutes. Then putting it under the broiler to just brown the cheese topping wouldn't further cook it.  Might rethink it and sub something else for the raw egg.  Anyone else have a thought on the matter ???

I added minced shallots instead of the onion and diced celery, drizzled a little E.V.O.O. over the top and baked for 20 min. before broiling - FANTASTIC!! Also used provolone cheese with the mozzarella, and yummo!!
