Baked Eggs In Tomato Cups - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 beef tomatoes (about 300g)
    75 g red onions
    2 large eggs
    6 large basil leaves
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1 tablespoon tomato puree
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    5 g grated parmegano cheese
Preparation
    Cut 1 large beef tomato in half and hollow out the centre (do not discard).
    Drop in a little fresh basil and a few rings of red onion then bake in the oven for about 5 minutes to soften them a little.
    While the tomato is in the oven take the removed pulp and finely chop along with most of the remaining red onion (save about 6 thin rings of onion).
    add the sugar, tomato puree, chopped basil leaves, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar and cook down into a thick sauce.
    Remove the tomato cups from the oven and crack in one egg into each half.
    Drop the rings of onion (you previously saved) into each tomato cup.
    add a small pile of grated Parmegano cheese on top (try to leave the yolk showing for presentation).
    Sprinkle with pepper and carefully place in the red hot oven for another 5-10 minutes (until the egg has cooked).
    Serve half covered with the tomato pickle/ketchup you have made.
    works well with a slice of toasted brown bread.
    Serve hot.
