Notas
Choose firm, large tomatoes so they hold the filling well. When removing the pulp, do it carefully so you do not pierce the base. The tomato tops help support each tomato in the baking dish while baking. If preferred, replace green onion with cilantro or mixed fresh herbs. Serve hot, while the cheese is melted and the egg is cooked.
