Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoes plus a handful of cherry
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cob of corn
- 1/2 cup cooked French lentils
- 4 medium eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Slice the tops off of the tomatoes. Use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop the seeds and pulp into a medium bowl. Be careful not to break through the outer flesh and skin of the tomato. You should finish with four tomato ‘cups’.
- Use a sharp pairing knife to cut the corn off the cob. Add it to the bowl of tomato flesh along with the lentils. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in 1/3 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves and mix to combine.
- Lightly oil a 2-quart baking dish. Scrape the tomato, corn and lentils into the bottom of the dish. Slice a few cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the dish. Place the tomato cups on top. Season the tomato cups with salt and pepper and sprinkle a little thyme into them.
- Place baking dish on the center rack of the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Using a pair of tongs, carefully turn over each tomato and drain the juices out onto the lentils. Set tomato, cut side up, back on the lentils.
- Crack an egg into each tomato cup. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 – 12 minutes. Ovens will vary. Begin checking the egg around 8 minutes. The white should be set and the yolk soft.
- Remove the pan from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Season again and sprinkle the last of the fresh thyme on the top.
- Serve hot. If desired, finish the eggs with a drizzle of your finest olive oil or a dollop of crème fraiche and toasted brown bread.
