Ingredients:

  • 6 egg tomatoes, halved lengthways 
  • 1 tbsp oil 
  • 8 eggs 
  • 80ml thickened cream 
  • 10g butter 
  • 100g goats cheese, broken into large pieces 
  • 4 bagels, split, toasted 
  • 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Place the tomato, cut-side up, on the lined tray. Drizzle over half the oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 40 minutes or until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl. Add cream. Whisk until just combined.
  3. Heat the butter and remaining oil in a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat until foaming. Swirl pan to lightly coat the base. Pour in the egg mixture. Cook, without stirring, for 30 seconds. Use a flat-edged wooden spoon to gently push the egg mixture, scraping the bottom of the pan, from one side of the pan to the other in 4 different directions.
  4. Repeat the pushing action every 10 seconds, including around the edge of the pan, to prevent the egg mixture from sticking. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until three-quarters of the mixture is cooked but still creamy. Remove from heat and gently fold in the goats cheese.
  5. Divide the bagels and roasted tomato among serving plates. Top with the scrambled eggs and sprinkle over the basil leaves to serve.
