Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 4 pieces eggs
- 4 slices sliced prosciutto
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the tops off the tomatoes and use a spoon to carefully hollow out the centers, removing seeds and pulp. Be careful not to puncture the walls of the tomatoes.
Drizzle the hollowed-out tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle the insides with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place them in a baking dish.
Crack one egg into each hollowed-out tomato and top with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
Tear each slice of prosciutto into small pieces and arrange them over the tops of the tomatoes, allowing some to drape over the sides for a crispy edge.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the tomatoes and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or cooked to your preference.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the tomatoes cool for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish each tomato with two fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
