Ingredients
Directions
- 1Pre-heat the oven to 350° F (180° C).
- 2Cut a slice off the tops of the tomatoes and, using a teaspoon, carefully scoop out the pulp and seeds without piercing the shells.
- 3Turn the tomato shells upside down on paper towels and let drain for 15 minutes. Season the insides of the shells with salt and pepper.
- 4Place the tomatoes in an oven proof dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer.
- 5Carefully break 1 egg into each tomato shell, then top with 1 tablespoon of cream and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese.
- 6Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are just set. Serve hot.
- 7Note: shredded asiago or other cheeses work well too.
