Tomato Egg Cups Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• 2. Slice off and set aside the top third of each tomato. Scoop out the seeds.
• 3. Place the tomatoes in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Season with the salt and pepper.
• 4. Break an egg into each tomato.
• 5. Bake, with the sliced tops, for 10 minutes.
• 6. Top the tomatoes with the cheese and bake until the cheese is bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• 7. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve with the tops and toast strips (also called "soldiers"-as your child might be delighted to know) for dipping.

Steps:

• Cut 1 large beef tomato in half and hollow out the centre (do not discard).
• Drop in a little fresh basil and a few rings of red onion then bake in the oven for about 5 minutes to soften them a little.
• While the tomato is in the oven take the removed pulp and finely chop along with most of the remaining red onion (save about 6 thin rings of onion).
• add the sugar, tomato purée, chopped basil leaves, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar and cook down into a thick sauce.
• Remove the tomato cups from the oven and crack in one egg into each half.
• Drop the rings of onion (you previously saved) into each tomato cup.
• add a small pile of grated Parmegano cheese on top (try to leave the yolk showing for presentation).
• Sprinkle with pepper and carefully place in the red hot oven for another 5-10 minutes (until the egg has cooked).
• Serve half covered with the tomato pickle/ketchup you have made.
• works well with a slice of toasted brown bread.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Note the tomatoes should be fresh picked and should be at the point where you can still hollow them out but headed for buttery soft in the next day or so.
• Herbs: oregano,chervil, basil, sage, Mrs. Dash.
• Preheat oven to 425°F while slicing tomatoes. Remove tops the scoop out seeds and pulp.
• Place in a shallow baking dish, sprinkle with a bit of salt or Mrs Dash [I used Italian], fresh ground pepper and put in a pinch of the parmesan cheese.
• Crack the egg into the tomato. Sprinkle with pepper, salt or Mrs. Dash, other herbs and a tiny bit of parmesan.
• Bake for 20 minutes for soft yolks and 30 to 35 for hard. During the last 4 minutes place two slices of the cheddar cheese in a cross pattern on top. Melt and let brown. When I removed I put a small amount of fresh chives on top of the cheese.
• Serves 8.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Brush 6 standard muffin cups with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; the oil will pool on the bottom of the cups, but that's okay. Line each cup with a slice of prosciutto, folding and overlapping so that the entire surface of the cup is covered and no metal is peeking through. Crack 1 egg into each prosciutto cup and top each egg with a tomato wedge. Reserve the remaining tomato wedges for serving.
• Bake until the egg whites are set and wobble only slightly, 8 to 10 minutes (the eggs will continue to cook after they come out). Let cool 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to loosen the prosciutto from the edges of each cup and lift onto a plate for serving.
• Mix the basil, walnuts, red pepper flakes and garlic with the remaining olive oil in a small bowl to combine. Serve over the egg cups and remaining tomato wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray a muffin tin liberally with cooking spray. Put 4 or 5 tots into each cup, pressing down firmly to pack them in. Top each with a half slice of Cheddar, then crisscross with another half slice. Bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk the half-and-half and eggs in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the egg mixture among the "tot cups" and top each with another half slice of Cheddar and 1 slice of tomato. Bake until the eggs are firm, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin.
• Top with avocado slices, sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Place tomatoes, cut sides up, on baking sheet; sprinkle evenly with half the cheese.
• Slip cracked egg into each tomato half; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake 20 to 23 min. or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness. Sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. Cut the tomatoes into quarters or thick wedges, depending on their size, then spread them over a fairly shallow 1.5 litre ovenproof dish. Peel the garlic, slice thinly and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil, season well with salt and pepper and stir everything together until the tomatoes are glistening.
• Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 40 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and are tinged with brown.
• Make four gaps among the tomatoes, break an egg into each gap and cover the dish with a sheet of foil. Return it to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the eggs are set to your liking. Scatter over the herbs and serve piping hot with thick slices of toast or warm ciabatta and a green salad on the side.
