I learned this recipe from a friend. Linda Beard is not just any friend. She was my first real, post college, adult friend. It sounds silly but it’s true. During my first year teaching elementary school in 1991, she was the teacher in the classroom next door and we did TONS of wonderful things together. She is an amazing cook and made these one time when I ate at her home with her family (which I did often).
I am excited to be sharing this as part of a great challenge.
They are amazing! You can make them with any kind of tomato. Over the years we have tried different things and different amounts of the ingredients but this is our fave. We call them friendship tomatoes. I never realized until today that my kiddos did not know where they got their name.

They go great with everything. We usually make them when we are grilling out steaks or chicken. Once we served them over steamed spinach and that was pretty awesome.
I could eat any of these four ingredients alone. Well, maybe not the butter…
Mix them up and it is better than pie crust!
Scoop out the tomatoes.
Fill them.
Grill them.
Yummelicious!!!
Check out all of these awesome recipes with tomatoes.
Happy Grilling,

Looks tasty! I will have to try these this weekend when we grill.
Those look delicious! This is something I’m definitely making – wow! I love the story behind this too. Isn’t it amazing how much we cherish those “little moments” with friends? Spending time at the dinner table is definitely a way to bring friends and family closer.
Yum! We need to make these immediately.
Thanks – perfect for garden fresh tomatoes that are ripening right now!
Oooooooh man, I think I need to try these next time we grill! They look amazing!!
I loved baked tomatoes but have gone the route of basil and mozzarella stuffed. I will try your parmesean friendship tomatoes next time!
Sounds delicious! Great idea for parties!
Thanks! They are fun at cookouts for sure.
