Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pcs large tomatoes
- 4 pcs eggs
- 100 g ham
- 50 g grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the tomatoes and slice off the top of each tomato (about 1 cm below the stem) to create a lid. Set the lids aside.
Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the pulp and seeds from the tomatoes to create hollow shells. Be careful not to puncture the walls. Discard or save the pulp for another use, like a sauce.
Dice the ham into small cubes and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced ham, grated cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the hollowed-out tomatoes lightly with olive oil and place them in a baking dish that fits all four tomatoes snugly.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each tomato shell, filling it close to the top but leaving a bit of space to prevent overflow as it bakes.
Place the tomato lids back on top, slightly askew, to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and slightly puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a side of toasted bread or mixed greens for a complete meal.
