Toxic tomatoes do not sound very appetizing, but these tomatoes topped with avocado, Swiss cheese, and herbs are yummy. These are great for Halloween to get kids to eat their veggies, but also good as a side dish for the entire family year-round.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 medium-sized tomatoes
- 1/2 avocado, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- 1 cup grated Swiss cheese (1/4 pound)
- 6 to 10 chopped fresh basil leaves (or 1 Tablespoon dried basil)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Preparation:
Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half crosswise. Place the halves - open side up - on a cookie sheet.
In a small bowl, mash together the avocado (sludge), grated Swiss cheese (pus), and basil (poisonous plant matter). Spoon the mixture on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle with oregano (flywings).
With an adult's help, broil the tomatoes for 5 minutes or until pus begins to ooze. Carefully remove the tomatoes from the broiler and serve hot.
Serving Idea: Allow Toxic Tomatoes to cool slightly and eat them with your hands (wearing plastic gloves, of course - to keep from being contaminated)!
Yield: Serves 4 to 6 madcap mutants
