Egg Tomato Baps Recipes

EGG & TOMATO BAPS

Steps:

• Brush the cut side of the tomatoes with a little of the oil then cook them on a low heat, cut-side down in a small, non-stick frying pan. While they cook, beat the eggs with seasoning and the chopped parsley in a small bowl. Turn the tomatoes over to briefly heat on the other side and then set aside.
• Wipe the pan, then add the remaining oil and cook the garlic on a medium heat for a few seconds, stirring all the time until softened. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally over the heat. Once it's almost set flip over to cook the other side for a few seconds more.
• Halve the baps and squash on the tomatoes, quarter the omelette and serve, 2 pieces inside each bap.

EGGS IN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bread with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until nicely toasted on both sides.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, peppers and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are just starting to brown, a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Add some water if it is too thick.
• Using a large metal spoon or ladle, form 6 evenly spaced divots in the sauce. Crack an egg into each divot and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
• Spoon some sauce over each slice of bread and top with an egg. Drizzle with olive oil.

BAKED EGGS IN TOMATO CUPS

Steps:

• Note the tomatoes should be fresh picked and should be at the point where you can still hollow them out but headed for buttery soft in the next day or so.
• Herbs: oregano,chervil, basil, sage, Mrs. Dash.
• Preheat oven to 425°F while slicing tomatoes. Remove tops the scoop out seeds and pulp.
• Place in a shallow baking dish, sprinkle with a bit of salt or Mrs Dash [I used Italian], fresh ground pepper and put in a pinch of the parmesan cheese.
• Crack the egg into the tomato. Sprinkle with pepper, salt or Mrs. Dash, other herbs and a tiny bit of parmesan.
• Bake for 20 minutes for soft yolks and 30 to 35 for hard. During the last 4 minutes place two slices of the cheddar cheese in a cross pattern on top. Melt and let brown. When I removed I put a small amount of fresh chives on top of the cheese.
• Serves 8.

EGGS POACHED IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir tomato sauce, red wine, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes with the onion and garlic; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Crack eggs into a bowl one at a time and gently slide them into the tomato sauce; cook until beginning to firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over the eggs to cover. Place a lid on the skillet and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes.

ITALIAN EGGPLANT TOMATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a plastic bag, combine the flour, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Shake to mix. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. There should be enough oil to thinly coat the bottom of the skillet. Dip the eggplant slices in egg, then place in the bag and shake to coat. Fry the slices in the skillet until golden brown on each side. Remove, and drain on paper towels.
• Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9 inch square baking dish. Cover with the eggplant slices, then top with more sauce. Mix together the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese; spread over the eggplant. Spread sauce over the cheese, and top with tomato slices. Cover with more sauce, and spread remaining cheese over the top.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Serve the eggplant tomato bake over pasta.
