Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to
180
°C
Cut a slice off the top of the tomatoes
Using a teaspoon, carefully scoop out pulp and seeds, taking care not to pierce through the shells
Turn the tomato shells upside down on paper towel and leave to drain for 15 minutes
Season the insides of the tomatoes with salt and pepper
Place the tomato shells in an ovenproof dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer
Carefully break one egg into each tomato shell
Top each shell with 1 tablespoon of cream and 1 tablespoon of grated cheese
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are just set
Notes
Serve for breakfast with some bacon or for lunch alongside a grilled steak
