Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 4 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice off the tops of the tomatoes and set them aside. Use a spoon to carefully hollow out the insides of each tomato, removing the seeds and pulp. Be careful not to puncture the exterior.
Pat the hollowed-out tomatoes dry with a paper towel and place them in a lightly greased baking dish.
Drizzle the insides of the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Crack one egg into each tomato, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle a bit more salt and black pepper over the eggs.
Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the eggs. Return the tomatoes to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
Garnish the fried eggs in tomatoes with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Optionally, serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
