Eggs in A Tomato

1 large (15 mL) tomato
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Cut off a thick slice, about 1/2-inch (1 cm), at the stem end of the tomato; set slice aside.  Scoop out seeds and centre pulp.  Season with salt and pepper. Place tomato upside down on a paper towel to drain for about 5 minutes.  Place tomato upright in a small microwave-safe bowl.  Break eggs into tomato. Pierce egg yolks with a fork.  Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and place top slice over tomato.  Microwave on Medium-High (70%) for 3 minutes and 45 seconds or until egg is almost cooked.  Let stand 2 minutes.
