This is my Little Thumbs Up for healthy breakfast. The tomato is the star of this everyday healthy breakfast dish. It has anti-oxidant lycopene packed in a delicate, dainty cup which holds the egg as it bakes. This is an attractive way or lazy way of serving eggs on a weekend morning. Serve with toast strips for dipping. Garnish with basil,chives or parsley.( I used basil. Sweet basil and tomatoes are heavenly match )

Most Famous Bible Verse
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
My first memorized verse was John 3:16, the most famous verse in the Bible. It tells us the Love of God for us and the extent of His love - He Gave His One and Only Son, and teaches us that anyone who Believes in Jesus, will be Saved Eternally
The tomato cups is such a nice way to serve eggs, very cute too!
