1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350. Cut thin slice from top of each tomato. Using a grapefruit knife make a circular cut (do not pierce skin) and scoop out pulp gently with a spoon. Invert tomatoes on paper towels and allow to drain. Grease 10-4" individual souffle dishes. Sprinkle the inside of each tomato with basil, salt and pepper and place upright in souffle dishes. Gently break an egg into each shell and bake 35-40 minutes or until egg whites have set. Remove from oven.

2. 2

   Blend melted butter, cheese and bread crumbs together. Sprinkle the tops of each egg liberally with this mixture. Return to oven and bake until crumbs are browned, about 3-5 minutes.
