Baked tomatoes with mushrooms

Baked tomatoes with mushrooms are served warm, with the egg and Parmesan browned on top. The tomatoes soften between the layers of mushrooms, while a thin crust forms on the surface. I serve it while it’s hot and cut generous portions. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 40 minutes. Total time: 60 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 195 kcal and 14 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 500 g button mushrooms
- 1 small white onion (70 g)
- 15 g butter
- 1 kg tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 3 eggs
- 30 g Parmesan
Preparation
1. Peel the mushrooms, wash them and cut them in half lengthwise, then slice them. If they’re small, you can slice them straight away. 2. Heat the oven to 200°C. Finely chop the onion. 3. Melt 2 teaspoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until golden. 4. Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes, until their liquid has evaporated and they start to brown lightly. 5. Grease an ovenproof dish with 1 teaspoon of butter. Slice the tomatoes and arrange a layer in the dish. Gradually sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper over the tomato layers. Add half the mushrooms and onion, then another layer of tomatoes, the remaining mushrooms and a final layer of tomatoes. 6. Whisk the eggs until frothy, add the Parmesan and pour the mixture over the whole surface. Arrange any leftover mushroom slices around the edges. 7. Bake for 25 minutes at 200°C, until the egg is set and the tomatoes are lightly browned on top.
Notes
It goes well with rustic bread, perfect for mopping up the tomato juices left on the plate. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat a portion for 10 minutes at 160°C. You can cook the mushrooms with the onion ahead of time and assemble the dish just before baking. You can replace the button mushrooms with oyster mushrooms, and larger mushrooms should be sliced more thinly. The dish contains eggs and dairy, from the butter and Parmesan. Choose meaty tomatoes that are still firm; very soft ones can leave a lot of liquid at the bottom. After washing the mushrooms, shake them well and leave them to dry a little so the sautéing time doesn’t take longer. A wider dish keeps the layers shallower and helps the surface brown evenly.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use cherry tomatoes in every layer?
Yes. Use 1 kg in total, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them cut side up.
Why is there a lot of liquid left in the dish?
Very juicy tomatoes can release liquid at the bottom. Remove the watery centers from 2-3 large tomatoes before slicing them.
Can I replace the Parmesan with a hard cheese?
Yes, add 30 g of grated aged cheese to the egg mixture. It will form a softer crust than Parmesan.
