Method

Slice the top off each tomato, scoop out the insides and stand, upside down, on a wire rack to drain. Fry the onion in half the butter in a frying-pan until lightly coloured. Remove from the heat. Soak the bread in the milk, squeeze dry and add to the pan. Add the egg, half the cheese, the parsley and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and stuff the tomatoes with this mixture. Melt the remaining butter and pour over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place under the grill to brown for a few minutes.
