Here's what you need...????
• 4 large, round tomatoes ????
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 slices organic, nitrate-free turkey bacon, chopped
• dash of dried oregano, plus more for garnish
• optional dash of salt (added salt is not in nutritional analysis)
• dash of pepper
• 4 organic, omega-3, free range eggs
1. Preheat oven to 400°
2. Wash tomatoes, slice off the tops and scoop out the insides. Place tomatoes on a pan, and bake for 5 minutes.
3. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add garlic. Add onion. Add chopped bacon. Saute for 5 minutes, until mostly cooked. Add the spices and mix well.
4. Turn oven to broil.
5. Fill each tomato with the bacon mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top of each tomato. Crack an egg into each tomato then sprinkle with oregano. Place in the oven under broiler for 5 minutes. Remove from oven once the top has set, and you'll have perfectly done over easy eggs.
6. For well done eggs: change oven temperature back to 400° and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
