Ingredients

Two tomatoes per person, ripe but firm

3 eggs per person

Fresh mint, finely chopped

Salt (coarse grind is nice, not essential)

Pepper

Butter

Preparation

Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and arrange with 2-3 inches between them cut side down in melted butter in shallow pan. Cover and cook over medium head till the skins of the tomatoes wrinkle a little. Break the eggs into the spaces between the tomatoes and cook till done (cover to speed it up, but watch carefully so yolks don’t cook hard). Sprinkle with salt, pepper and mint. Serve with toast or other dipping bread.
