Egg Baked in a Tomato

Egg Baked in a Tomato

30 min

The top comes off the tomato and the flesh is scooped out, then an egg goes inside with cheese. The flesh is not wasted — it gets rubbed over the toasted bread.

Ingredients

3 servings
Tomato(large and firm)3 pcs
Eggs3 pcs
Cheese(grated)80 g
Bread(rustic)3 slices
Olive oil1 tbsp
Dried herbs1 tsp
Salt0.5 tsp
Pepper blend0.5 tsp

Instructions

1
Cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop the flesh into a bowl, leaving firm walls.
2
Stand the tomatoes in the lined basket and crack an egg into each.
3
Season with salt, pepper and herbs and add the grated cheese.
4
Cook at 180 °C (356 °F) for 20 minutes — the white sets and the cheese browns.
5
Sprinkle the slices of bread with cheese and dry them alongside for the last 5 minutes.
6
Serve the tomatoes with the bread, spreading the crushed tomato flesh and olive oil over it.
