Tomatobrotheggs Recipes

BAKED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the tomatoes from core to core. Remove and discard the seeds and juice, and add the tomatoes to a casserole dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Combine the 2 tablespoons olive oil, panko, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Fill the tomatoes with the panko mixture. Bake 20 minutes. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil before serving.

GRILLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the tomatoes, and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and black pepper.
• Place tomatoes, cut sides up, onto the preheated grill, and grill until the tomatoes start to sizzle and show blackened grill marks, about 4 minutes. Flip the tomatoes over and grill until the garlic turns golden brown, about 3 more minutes.

TOMATO BROTH

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium-low heat; add the onion and garlic. Cook for several minutes until they have softened but not browned, stirring occasionally. Add the herbs, tomatoes and peppercorns; cook on low heat until the mixture becomes paste-like - use a heat diffuser &/or be careful not to scorch as mixture reduces.
• Add the broth or water; increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 1 hour. The mixture should be greatly reduced. Strain through fine-mesh strainer, discarding the solids. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHEDDAR TOMATO EGGS

Steps:

• NOTE: I made this in college in a very low-powered microwave. The amount of eggs you use will depend on how long to cook the eggs, especially in a newer microwave. I prepared this the other night in my new convection oven and only used two eggs. The time was about 2-3 minutes and I stood there and watched them closely, stopping a couple of times to stir them. REMEMBER, microwaves vary in power and when changing the ingredient amounts, the time might change too. Novice cooks might not realize that, so if you screw up a couple of eggs, just try it again. This is delicious and worth the few minutes.
• Stir together ingredients. Place in a microwave-safe dish and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on medium heat for 3 minutes. Microwave 3 more minutes after turning. Let stand 1 minute.

TOMATO BROTH

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and remove immediately. Pass through a fine mesh strainer, whisking occasionally to help the liquid pass through. The broth will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. It will separate and need only be stirred. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.

MAMA'S BEST BROILED TOMATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Marinate the tomatoes in the mixture, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, parsley, oregano, black pepper and 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese. Spread mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Place marinated tomatoes on 2 slices and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Place on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese turns golden brown. Serve immediately, open faced or closed.
