Ingredients

6 large tomatoes

20 gram butter

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 bunch (300g) english spinach, trimmed, chopped

1/3 cup thickened cream

1 pinch ground nutmeg

7 eggs

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

6 slice wholemeal bread, cut into fingers

2 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan

mixed salad, to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C (160°C fan-forced).

2.Cut top from tomatoes; reserve. Using a teaspoon, gently scoop flesh and seeds from tomatoes, taking care not to pierce skin. Place tomatoes and reserved tops on a baking tray.

3.Heat butter in a large frying pan over moderately high heat. Add garlic and spinach; cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes, or until spinach is just wilted. Transfer to a heatproof bowl; set aside to cool slightly.

4.Add cream and nutmeg to spinach; season. Whisk one of the eggs; stir into spinach mixture. Spoon spinach mixture evenly into tomatoes.

5.Using a spoon, press a hollow into spinach mixture to make room for eggs. Crack an egg into each tomato; bake 12 minutes, or until egg white has set (yolk should be a little runny). Sprinkle with pepper.

6.Preheat an oven grill to high. Place bread on a baking tray; grill until toasted on one side. Turn bread; sprinkle with parmesan and grill until golden brown.

7.Serve tomatoes with toast, salad and reserved tomato tops.
