Elevate your brunch game with *Tomates Farcies d’Oeuf*, a classic French recipe that combines elegance and simplicity. These baked egg-stuffed tomatoes are filled with perfectly cooked eggs and finished with a luscious dollop of homemade herb mayonnaise, blending fresh parsley, chives, and a hint of lemon juice for a zesty, aromatic kick. Each juicy tomato is lightly seasoned, roasted to tender perfection, and transformed into a flavorful edible vessel that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious. Ready in just 30 minutes, this dish is a perfect choice for a refined breakfast, a light lunch, or an impressive dinner appetizer. Pair it with crusty baguette slices or a crisp green salad for a truly Parisian dining experience!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the tomatoes and set them aside. Use a small spoon to gently scoop out the seeds and pulp, leaving the tomato shells intact. Lightly brush the insides of the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Set the tomatoes on a baking dish.
Crack an egg into each hollowed-out tomato, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle the eggs lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place the baking dish with the tomatoes into the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (or cooked to your preference).
While the tomatoes are baking, prepare the herb mayonnaise. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, parsley, chives, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Once the tomatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top each stuffed tomato with a dollop of herb mayonnaise and garnish with extra chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
