- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 13 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Method
- Preheat oven to 450.
- cut a very thin slice off both ends of each of the tomatoes to create 4 flat bottoms.
- Then cut each tomato in half.
- Use a melon ball scoop to remove the seeds and guts from the wide fleshy side of each tomato cup, creating just enough room to hold the filling.
- Season the inside of the tomato cavities with salt and pepper.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, cilantro, parsley, garlic, scallions and parmigiano-reggiano cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the egg yolk and mix thoroughly.
- Divide the filling among the 4 tomato cups, pushing it into the cavity with a rubber spatula or spoon.
- Drizzle olive oil into a baking dish.
- Arrange the stuffed tomatoes in the dish and bake for 15 to 17 minutes until lightly brown and cooked through.
