This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. Combining juicy tomatoes, creamy eggs, and flavorful herbs makes it an absolute delight. Plus, it’s healthy, low-carb, and full of vitamins!

Servings: 4
Ingredients:

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 4 medium eggs
• 50g shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or basil)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a little spice)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

How to Make It:

1. Prep the Tomatoes 

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Cut the tops off the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the insides with a spoon. Be gentle so you don’t break the tomato walls.
• Sprinkle the inside with a pinch of salt and turn them upside down on a paper towel for a few minutes to drain excess liquid.

2. Fill the Tomatoes

• Place the tomatoes in a greased baking dish.
• Add a tiny bit of shredded cheese at the bottom (this helps absorb moisture and adds extra flavour).
• Crack an egg into each tomato. Be careful not to break the yolk.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
• Top with the rest of the cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

3. Bake to Perfection

• Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like your eggs.
• Once done, sprinkle with fresh parsley for extra flavour and freshness.
• Ready to Enjoy!

Serve these delicious baked tomatoes warm with crispy toast, avocado slices, or a fresh salad on the side.

It’s a simple, healthy, and elegant meal that will make your breakfast feel special and gourmet!
