Egg Stuffed Italian Tomatoes for a Simple Clean Eating Breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 12 medium vine tomatoes firm to touch
  • olive oil spray
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 12 small eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f, then rinse and pat dry the tomatoes.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice off the stem-end as shown, then cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each tomato, creating a flat base, so that your tomatoes can stand upright.
  • Use a small spoon to scoop out all of the seeds and pulp (I reserve this for soups or sauces later on). Place the tomatoes into a muffin tray, cut side up, and spray or brush them very lightly with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
  • Gently crack an egg into each tomato, then top with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, until egg whites are set to your liking; about 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper and enjoy!
