Baked Eggs, Ham & Asparagus in Tomato Cups

By mrslopes

Ingredients

• 1 large tomato
• 1 large egg
• 2 T diced ham (cubes should be about 1/4" in size)
• 2 T chopped asparagus (also 1/4" in size)
• Pinch of salt
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 425°. Lightly coat the bottom of a small baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. 2.Cut off the top of the tomato and gently scoop out the flesh and seeds (don't toss it! You can use this to make a light salsa later). Sprinkle the inside of the tomato cup with a small pinch of salt and add the diced ham and asparagus. Crack the egg into the tomato and carefully place the filled tomato into the prepared baking dish.
3.Bake for 20 minutes or so (longer if you like a harder yolk). Remove from heat and carefully transfer to a serving plate with a wide spatula or slotted cooking spoon. Serve with extra asparagus spears and a nice chunk of warm crusty bread.
