- Season with salt and pepper, stir in the egg, and mix well
- Using damp hands, form five balls of stuffing
- Slide a nice cube of Saint Agur Blue Cheese into the centre of each meat stuffing and seal well
- Remove the tops of the tomatoes, carefully scoop out the insides, keeping the flesh intact
- Stuff the hollowed-out tomatoes with the meatballs and replace their tops
- Arrange the stuffed tomatoes in a dish and add the reserved pulp. Sprinkle with thyme
- Add a knob of butter to each tomato and back in for 45-60 minutes at 180°C
