🥘 Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella Breakfast Bake

🌿 Ingredients

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt & black pepper (to taste)

• 4–6 large eggs

• 1 cup fresh mozzarella (torn or sliced)

• 2 cloves garlic (minced)

• 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)

• 1/4 cup milk or cream

• Optional: toasted bread (for serving)

🔥 Instructions

1. Roast the tomatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

2. Add garlic & mozzarella

Remove the dish from the oven. Stir in the minced garlic, then scatter the mozzarella evenly over the tomatoes.

3. Prepare the eggs

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), a pinch of salt, and pepper.

4. Assemble & bake

Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes and cheese.

Return to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still soft.

5. Finish & serve

Sprinkle fresh basil on top and serve warm with toasted bread.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies

• Sprinkle chili flakes for a bit of heat

• Swap mozzarella with feta or goat cheese for a tangier flavor

• For a heartier version, add cooked sausage or smoked salmon

It’s one of those dishes that looks impressive but is very low effort. If you want, I can help you turn this into a meal prep version or adapt it with ingredients you already have.
