Breakfast Tomatoes with Eggs
Today I will share a healthy breakfast with you. These super delicious tomatoes are filled with egg, Parmesan cheese, and a delightful Italian herb mixture. Bake for 30 minutes, and set the table while it starts to smell nice.
The tomatoes are easiest to serve on a small plate with a knife and fork. By the way, another tip: make sure you put the tomatoes straight in your casserole dish. That sounds very logical, but the tomatoes have a slight bulge at the bottom, so there is a danger of falling.
Cutting a small strip off the bottom to make it straight is impossible because the tomato skin is very thin, and your egg will run out. So I placed the tomatoes on a small square of aluminum foil. But of course, you can also use an egg cup.

What do you need for Egg Stuffed Breakfast Tomatoes?
To prepare this breakfast of tomatoes with eggs, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Tomatoes - Since you will be filling the tomatoes, you will need medium-sized or large firm tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are possible but difficult to put down because they have a pointed bottom. Plum tomatoes or beef tomatoes are even better.
