i love when i look in the fridge and i happen to have all the ingredients for something great. no planning. just do.
i've been eyeing a tomato and egg tapas (tapa?) from my book. essentially an egg baked inside a tomato. too big for a bite sized treat so i'm not sure if it is, say, a popular bar food. but it was just what i wanted. very comfort food. minus the gravy.
you cut the top off a ripe tomato. gently scoop out the seeds then set upside down to drain a bit on a paper towel. salt and pepper the insides (i forgot this important step). gently crack an egg into the hollowed out egg. top with one tablespoon of cream and one tablespoon of shredded cheese. i used some leftover manchego and i think a similarly medium hard to hard cheese would be a good choice. bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes until the egg sets and cheese is bubbly brown. the result is like a well done poached egg inside a well seasoned tomato. would be a great addition for a brunch. or lazy night dinner with some toast and a breakfast meat of your choosing.
so think on these things...gravy. lazy. and miss me lots.
I will miss you. But have a wonderful time. Live it up, you deserve it!
