Ingredients
4 large eggs
4 ripe tomatoes
Fresh herbs (such as basil or parsley) for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: garlic or onions for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tomatoes:
Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut the tops off and scoop out a portion of the inside to create a small well. This will hold the egg.
If you like, season the inside of each tomato with a pinch of salt and pepper. You can also add a small amount of minced garlic or chopped onions for additional flavor. - Crack the Eggs:
Carefully crack an egg into each tomato well. It helps to crack each egg separately into a small bowl first to ensure it stays whole and makes it easier to pour into the tomato. - Bake the Dish:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the tomato cups in a baking dish to keep them upright during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. - Garnish and Serve:
Once the eggs and tomatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven.
Garnish with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley to enhance the flavors and add a touch of color.
Serve hot, either on their own or with a side of whole-grain toast or a green salad for a complete meal.
