Egg Stuffed Tomato

I had one tomato left. I knew it wouldn't be worthy of a tomato sandwich even though it said it was vine ripe. Yeah, they snap the vine when the tomato is green and it doesn't get that wonderful sun to sweeten it up. Just another way for the grocery store to make money.

Since I have to watch what I eat this was something I could add and not worry about those nasty calories.

Saw the recipe on giverecipe.com and I adapted it. I used Slap Ya Mama* instead of the salt and pepper. If you like spicy you can add as much you want. I added a few good shakes.

1 tomato

1 egg

1 tsp. butter

pinch of salt and pepper

green onions chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cut top off of the tomato and scoop out the seeds

Line dish with parchment paper

Place butter in tomato

I then sprinkled some Slap Ya Mama in the tomato

Crack egg and add to tomato

Sprinkle chopped green onions on top of egg

Place in 375 oven for 25-30 mins.

  1. Would you believe I've never baked a tomato? I've used them IN dishes but never on their own. What a great way to enjoy an egg and not have bread.

    I can't wait to get my garden in and get some tomatoes growing.....nothin' like fresh picked.

    Thanks Linda!
