Author Notes
I love the combo of sweet roasted tomatoes with eggs, peppery arugula, and nutty parmesan cheese. I make some variation of this year round--with fried eggs on English muffins with crispy pancetta, with poached eggs and a side of crusty french bread, on a sandwich with crispy sage and bacon. All delicious. It wasn't until this contest came up, that I realized my favorite combo looks like Christmas with red, green, and white colors, and with added rosemary, it tastes like Christmas too! Baking the eggs over the roasted tomatoes makes this an easy dish to serve a crowd, and it's sure to impress Christmas guests. The ingredients are for 2 people, so just double for 4, and so on. —Loves Food Loves to Eat

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until whites are set. Sprinkle with cheese.

Serve over a bed of arugula, or with arugula on top (as an open face sandwich, with bread on the side, or simply on its own).
