Tomatoes with cheese and egg, baked in the microwave - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite cheeses. Cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan would all work well. Consider the flavor profile you're aiming for – a sharper cheese like cheddar will add more tang, while mozzarella will melt beautifully and offer a milder taste.

I don't have any milk. What can I substitute?

You can substitute milk with cream, half-and-half, or even a dairy-free milk alternative like almond or soy milk. The key is to add a bit of liquid to help bind the egg and cheese mixture together. You could also use a tablespoon of plain yogurt or sour cream.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian-friendly?

This recipe is already vegetarian friendly. However, make sure to use vegetarian cheese if you are strictly vegetarian.

Can I prepare the tomatoes ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the tomatoes by hollowing them out and preparing the egg mixture ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator and combine them just before baking, this will avoid the tomatoes becoming soggy.

How do I know when the tomatoes are fully cooked in the microwave?

The cooking time can vary based on your microwave's power and the size of your tomatoes. The egg filling should be set, and the tomatoes should be soft but not collapsed. If the filling is still runny after 5 minutes, microwave for another minute or two, checking frequently.

I want to make a larger batch. Do I need to adjust the cooking time?

Reheating these tomatoes isn't ideal as the egg can become rubbery. They are best eaten immediately after cooking. If you must reheat, use the microwave on low power and check frequently.

Can I add any other ingredients to the filling?

Definitely! Get creative with your fillings. Consider adding chopped herbs like basil or chives, diced vegetables such as bell peppers or onions, cooked bacon or sausage (if not vegetarian), or a sprinkle of spices like garlic powder or paprika.
