  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 4 extra large eggs

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

2

Cut a very thin slice from bottom of each tomato so that it won't wobble.

3

5

Sprinkle insides of tomatoes with salt and freshly ground pepper.

6

Put ½ tablespoon buttermilk in bottom of each shell.

7

Fill each shell with a raw egg, which will come almost to the top of tomato.

9

Sprinkle with salt.

10

Place in shallow baking dish and bake 25 minutes, or until eggs are set but not overcooked.
