Ingredients

  • 2 cup cherry tomato halved
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp basil dried
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp pepper
  • 4 egg
  • 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated (optional)
  • 1 pinch basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Baking dish

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly in the pan.
    2 cup cherry tomato, 2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic, ¼ tsp basil, ¼ tsp salt, ⅛ tsp pepper
  • Place the pan in the oven and roast the tomatoes for about 10-12 minutes, until they start to soften and release their juices.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Make two small wells in the roasted tomatoes and carefully crack one egg into each well. Top with parmesan cheese, if using.
    4 egg, 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking. If you prefer runny yolks, aim for the lower end of the time range.
  • Once done, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the dish with fresh basil or parsley and Parmesan (if using). Serve directly from the pan.
    1 pinch basil

Cooking Tips

  • To add more flavour, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes or smoked paprika before roasting the tomatoes.
  • For runnier yolks, monitor the eggs closely and take them out earlier. For firmer yolks, keep them in the oven for a few extra minutes.
  • You can prepare this dish in individual ramekins for easy serving.
  • Serve alongside a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
