"When making these, make sure you use tomatoes that are not overly ripe as they will fall apart easily when trying to hollow them out. These are a tasty breakfast or brunch item. I like serving this on a lettuce leaf. When making these for a crowd I put the tomatoes in muffin tins."

Very tasty attractive recipe. With Bea's permission I took some liberties with this recipe. I needed to change it so that prior to serving it only needed 15 minutes cook time. What I did was make this recipe ideal for a family where everyone gets up at their own leisure but you still want to serve a lovely breakfast. I prepared the tomato, salt and pepered it, baked it in a 350 oven for 20 minutes, removed itfrom the oven. Scrambled an egg with the corn and chives, filled the tomato with eggs. Topped the stuffed tomato with parmesan and chili flakes and set it aside. When I knew it would be 15 minutes before serving I popped it into a 375f oven for about 12 minutes - Piping hot and delicious. In this case it coinsided being served along side another totally different breakafast of 5 minute soft boiled eggs. Bea it worked perfectly.
