Baked Eggs are amazing...

.....so give this recipe a chance tonight! It's called Baked Eggs in Tomatoes and it's very easy, inexpensive and delicious.

Here's what you'll need (a.k.a. the grocery list):

  • 8 tomatoes (I only did six, you want to do only what you'll eat)
  • 8 medium eggs (cage free, grain/vegetarian fed are best )
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (I used Romano)
  • salt, pepper, dried herbs such as oregano, basil and sage
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Slice tops off of tomatoes and scoop out the pulp and seeds (the middle). Place tomatoes in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle the inside of each tomato with salt, pepper and a pinch of cheese. Crack one egg in each tomato, sprinkle with salt, pepper, herbs and remaining cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes for soft yolks, 25-30 for hard yolks, depending on the oven. Serve immediately!

I served this dish with homemade biscuits and gravy to 4 meat eaters and a vegetarian to rave reviews. I asked for honest feedback, which was all good; I was shocked but terribly pleased. Enjoy this lovely meal with rave reviews of your own!
