This is a great way to get your big breakfast on all in one.
All you do is use a spoon to scoop out all the flesh from the inside of each tomato so it looks like a little cup. Add a couple of spoonfuls of pasta sauce, a sprinkling of oregano and then carefully crack an egg inside. Bake in a moderate oven ( 180C) for 15 minutes, or until the egg sets (or cooked to your liking). While they’re cooking, place a strips of prosciutto onto an oven tray and bake until crisp.
Once the prosciutto is crispy and the eggs are set, remove from the oven. Top the tomato cups with prosciutto, a good grinding of black pepper, salt and shaved parmesan. YUM!! Baked eggs – Italian style!!
