Steps:
- Preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. Cut the tomatoes into quarters or thick wedges, depending on their size, then spread them over a fairly shallow 1.5 litre ovenproof dish. Peel the garlic, slice thinly and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil, season well with salt and pepper and stir everything together until the tomatoes are glistening.

BAKED EGG WITH PROSCIUTTO AND TOMATO
It can be challenging to give eggs enough of an elegant twist to serve them to company, especially when the company arrives en masse, as tends to happen during the holidays. Enter the baked egg, at 15 minutes or so perhaps the slowest common cooking method (yes, I know, you can cook eggs for five hours if you choose to do so). But this is in a way the easiest method for cooking eggs in quantity.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Smear a bit of butter or oil in ramekin; line with tomato and prosciutto. Break egg into ramekin, then put on a baking sheet.
- Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until egg is set and white has solidified. Because the cup retains heat, egg will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven, so it is best to undercook it slightly. Precise time, in a good oven on a middle rack, is 12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of the tomatoes is essential for this dish, so make sure to use ripe, juicy tomatoes with a deep red color. Roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes work well.
- Season the eggs generously: Don't be afraid to season the eggs liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the eggs and make them more flavorful.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an important ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Cook the eggs slowly: The key to perfectly cooked eggs is to cook them slowly over low heat. This will help to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming tough.
