Ingredients
4 large tomatoes
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Directions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
- Prepare the tomatoes: Slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the insides using a spoon, creating a hollow cavity for the eggs. Drizzle the insides of the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
- Roast the tomatoes: Place the tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet or dish and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, until they begin to soften slightly.
- Add the eggs: Remove the tomatoes from the oven and carefully crack an egg into each tomato cavity. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Bake: Return the tomatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired level of doneness.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese, if using. Serve immediately.
