Stuffed Baked Tomatoes

2 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
11/2 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup)
1/8 cup roughly chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Instructions
Heat oven to 400°F.
Scoop out the inside of each tomato half with a melon baller and roughly chop the scooped pulp. Combine tomato pulp, mozzarella, basil, Parmesan, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place tomatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Spoon in tomato mixture and bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Serve warm
