Baked tomatoes and eggs with basil, chilli and parmesan

Up your weekend breakfast with Claire Thomson's recipe that puts tomatoes at the fore
Baked tomatoes and eggs with basil chilli and parmesan

This is exactly the sort of breakfast or brunch I would best like to eat after a very late night, probably after a little too much to drink. With morning-after-the-night-before friends still gathered, it is effortless to pull together, looks inviting and demands to be eaten. Best of all, it calls for a lazy trawl of great hunks of bread, blasting through the barely set egg yolks and tomato juices, dripping with abandon. This dish is what makes having a hangover worth it – well, nearly.
