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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Pat the hollowed-out tomatoes dry with a paper towel and place them in a lightly greased baking dish.

Step 4

Drizzle the insides of the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 5

Crack one egg into each tomato, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle a bit more salt and black pepper over the eggs.

Step 6

Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
