Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to broil (500 degrees F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (spritz with baking spray) and set aside

  2. Slice the tops off the tomatoes and carefully cut around the inner edge to release the core. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membrane of the tomatoes to create hollow tomatoes.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, celery, shallot, and celery salt.

  4. Stuff tomatoes with the tuna mixture and top with a slice of cheese.

  5. Place tomatoes on the baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts and begins to brown.
