Ingredients

1 Kg Cherry tomatoes
500 gr Breadcrumbs
100 gr Grana Padano
4 nr Potatoes boiled, medium-sized
3 nr Eggs
qb Basil
qb Black pepper
qb Fresh ground meat
1 clove Garlic

Instructions

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half horizontally, if they are too small, only cut off the top part.
Salt the cherry tomatoes and set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling.
Mix all ingredients together, including the previously mashed boiled potatoes.
Add herbs (garlic, basil, pepper) to taste. The mixture should be firm and soft at the same time. Add a little milk if it seems too dry.
At this point, invert the cherry tomatoes to drain the vegetable water.
Pierce them with a toothpick in two or more parts.
Fill the cherry tomatoes with the mixture without spilling too much filling.
Fry in hot seed oil, with the filling side down.
Leave for a few minutes until the filling is golden. (Turn one over to check the cooking).
Carefully turn the cherry tomatoes and fry for another two minutes.
Remove and place on absorbent paper. The cherry tomatoes are ready.
