Preparation
Step 1
To make the eggs not only tasty but also beautiful, it’s best to use farm eggs with large, rich yellow yolks. Use fresh eggs. Butter can be replaced with vegetable oil. You may add ham, sausage, cheese, sautéed mushrooms, or other fillings to the egg if desired.
Step 2
Melt the butter in advance and cool it down.
Step 3
Wash and slice green onions into rings.
Step 4
Wash, dry, and finely chop dill. Optionally, you can replace or add other herbs such as cilantro or a mix of herbs.
Step 5
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut off the tops and carefully scoop out the pulp without damaging the walls, using a regular teaspoon or a special small spoon. Choose firm, juicy tomatoes that hold their shape well. Soft tomatoes will lose shape and spoil the dish's appearance.
Step 6
Brush the inside of each tomato with melted butter. Then salt and pepper them. Make sure the egg size matches the tomato size.
Step 7
Carefully crack one egg into each tomato, trying to keep the yolk whole. Lightly salt and pepper the top of each egg. I made an extra tomato this way. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish greased with the remaining butter and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes. Baking time depends on your oven and desired egg doneness.
Step 8
Sprinkle the hot baked eggs in tomatoes with chopped dill and green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
