Baked Eggs With Tomatoes

I’ve done this recipe for years, but in the move the book with it in has got lost.

1. Well butter four ramekin dishes.
2. Preheat the oven to 200°C
3. Take a large tin of chopped tomatoes and put in a saucepan with a a finely chopped medium-sized onion. Mix well and heat.
4. When it is hot, simmer and add two tablespoons of flour mixed with enough butter to make a nice paste.
5. Simmer for five minutes or so, adding a teaspoon of sugar and salt and pepper until you get the  taste right.
6. Spoon the mixture into the ramekin dishes, making a nest in the top of the mixture.
7. Add an egg to the nest and cover with grated cheese.
8. Bake in the oven until the cheese is cooked.

With practice they can be got to rise like mini-soufflés.

In some ways the great thing about this recipe, is that apart from the eggs nothing has a sell-by date. Usually I have everything required in my fridge and/or store cupboard.
