How to Make Tomatoes Stuffed With Eggs And Anchovies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the top off of 4 large tomatoes (about 3 inches in diameter).
  3. Using a spoon, gently remove the pulp and seeds, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pulp.
  4. Lightly salt the insides of the tomatoes and invert them on a plate lined with paper towels for 30 minutes to drain.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and whisk vigorously until emulsified.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 4 oil-packed anchovy fillets (drained), and 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
  8. Gently mix until everything is well combined. Stir in the reserved tomato pulp.
  9. Turn the tomatoes cut-side up and place them on a baking sheet.
  10. Fill each tomato with one-fourth of the egg and anchovy mixture.
  11. Top each tomato with a thin lemon slice.
  12. Decorate each with 3 capers and a small parsley sprig.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
  14. Serve warm or at room temperature.
