Stuffed Tomatoes with Rice and Mozzarella in Air Fryer
A summer recipe revisited with mozzarella and cooked in an air fryer. In summer, I personally use the oven very little and only if it’s really necessary 😂 since stuffed tomatoes are very popular at my house, I tried making them in the air fryer and I must say they turned out very well. Then I enriched my classic recipe of stuffed tomatoes with rice by adding mozzarella inside, and I must say I liked them very much!
