Description

A savory breakfast delight featuring poached eggs served in roasted tomato cups, perfect for a healthy start to your day.


Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, tops removed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
  • Sourdough bread for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Scoop out the insides of the tomatoes, creating a hollow cup while preserving the outer walls.
  3. Drizzle the insides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the tomatoes upright in a baking dish and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until they soften slightly.
  5. As the tomatoes roast, bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer on the stove and add the apple cider vinegar.
  6. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time and poach for 4-5 minutes.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs out and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.
  8. Once the tomatoes are tender, crack an egg into each tomato cup, season with salt and pepper, and return them to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  9. Serve the tomato cups hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives, alongside toasted sourdough bread.

Notes

  • Adjust the poaching time based on your preferred yolk consistency.
  • Feel free to add cheese or other vegetables to the tomato cups for extra flavor.
