    Step 1.

    How to bake tomatoes with cheese in a slow cooker? Prepare the products. Choose medium-sized tomatoes and strong, soft fruits can turn into porridge when baking. Take any soft cheese that melts well. I have mozzarella, Adyghe will do well. You can use any greens to taste. As well as seasonings.

    Prepare the tomatoes first. Wash them well and dry them. Cut off the top of each tomato with a stalk, but do not throw them away, they will serve as lids. Use a spoon to scrape the inside of the tomato. These cups will turn out like this. Also, do not throw away the pulp, freeze it and use it later when preparing sauces or soups.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Place the bowl in the slow cooker. Turn on the baking mode suitable for it, I have it "Baking". I advise you to set a very small time, 10 minutes. A longer duration can turn tomatoes into porridge. After 10 minutes, open the lid and check what condition they are in. If they have softened and the cheese has melted, take it out. If not, keep going. It took me 15 minutes, but it would have been better to have 10.

    Remove the finished tomatoes from the slow cooker, cool a little and serve as an appetizer or an addition to the side dish. They are delicious both hot and cold. Bon appetit!

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode in the recipe are given approximately. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique. 

How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.
