Egg Stuffed Tomatoes

Egg stuffed Tomatoes
Ingredients:
               4 large beefsteak tomatoes (large tomatoes easy to stuff)
               1 cup chopped spinach
               ¼ cup chopped onion (red or green)
               4 cage-free eggs
               2 teaspoons fresh chives
               ¼ cup grated Parmesan Cheese (1/4 ounce)

Directions:
               Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9- inch baking dish or pie plate with parchment paper (or lightly grease).  Cut off the top of the tomato (about ¼ to ½ inch).  With a spoon, gently remove the seeds and inner of the tomato.  Place the tomatoes in a dish and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the spinach and onions among the tomatoes.
               In a medium bowl whisk together eggs and chives and season to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic (optional).  Divide the egg mixture among the three tomatoes.  Divide the cheese among the tomatoes and lightly top the tomatoes and egg mixture with them.  Bake them until the egg mixture sets, about 45 to 50 minutes.
Serves: 2 to 4 people
