Baked Tomato Cup with Bacon and Eggs

Set oven to 400ºF.

In a skillet, fry bacon until crispy. (It should be easy to crumble, rather than tear.)

As bacon is frying, wash tomatoes and trim tops off (just enough to remove leaves). Slice tomatoes from top to bottom and scoop out centers with a spoon. Set aside.

Pour olive oil in an 8×8 glass baking dish and place tomatoes inside. Crack an egg into each tomato. Bake 15–20 minutes, or until whites have firmed.

Remove from oven and top with crisp bacon pieces, diced avocado, green onion, and red onion. Garnish with pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

Note: I found I could reduce the prep time by getting the bacon started while prepping the tomatoes, eggs, and toppings, then finishing the bacon while tomatoes and eggs are baking in the oven.
