These baked tomato egg cups offer a vibrant and nutritious twist on the traditional breakfast egg. By using vine-ripened tomatoes as natural ramekins, this high-protein dish captures the sweetness of the roasted fruit alongside a perfectly cooked egg and golden, melted white cheddar. It is a visually appealing way to start the morning, providing a fresh alternative to more heavy fried breakfasts while still delivering plenty of savoury flavour.
Perfect for a healthy brunch or a quick weekday meal, this recipe is incredibly simple to prepare. Serving the tomatoes with crisp toast strips, often known as soldiers, makes them particularly family-friendly and ideal for dipping into the warm yolks. Prepared in under half an hour, these cheesy egg cups are as nourishing as they are comforting.
