How to Make Baked Eggs In Tomatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally and scoop out the seeds and some of the pulp, creating a little well in each half.
  3. Lightly salt and pepper the inside of each tomato half.
  4. Crack one egg gently into each tomato half.
  5. Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of your favorite herbs (such as basil, oregano, or thyme).
  6. Drizzle each tomato half with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  7. Place the tomato halves in a baking dish.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
  9. Serve immediately with toasted bread and a refreshing juice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
