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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Dice the ham into small cubes and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced ham, grated cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Drizzle the hollowed-out tomatoes lightly with olive oil and place them in a baking dish that fits all four tomatoes snugly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Place the tomato lids back on top, slightly askew, to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 9
Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and slightly puffed.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm as is or with a side of toasted bread or mixed greens for a complete meal.
