Recipe Notes from the cookbook Breakfast is our favorite meal. It's the meal that fuels our long days, and the quiet morning moments in the kitchen allow us to slowly wake up together. Combining our love of eggs and tomatoes, this dish is a highlight for those cooler mornings when we crave something warm from the oven. The texture of the cooked egg changes in a matter of minutes; cooking time will vary greatly depending on how soft the tomatoes are. Insert a toothpick into the egg to check for your preferred consistency. You may need to use medium-grade eggs rather than large if your tomatoes are on the small side. You can also take out some of the whites when you’re filling the tomatoes if the egg volume is too large.
