- 1 Tbsp basil pesto (boosts fragrance and umami!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the tomatoes thoroughly. If using medium cherry tomatoes, cut them into 6 pieces. If they are smaller, cut them into about 4 pieces. Cutting them into larger chunks provides a better texture and allows more juice to be released when cooked.
Step 2
Crack 1 fresh egg into the bowl containing the cut tomatoes. Lightly whisk the egg with a fork or whisk until the yolk and white are just combined. This will help the tomato and egg meld together beautifully.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the flavor-packed sauce! Add 3 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of fragrant olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of flavorful basil pesto to the tomato and egg mixture. Gently stir everything together until well combined. If you don’t have basil pesto, you can omit it or use a little chopped fresh basil.
Step 4
Finally, it’s topping time! Sprinkle the creamy and melty mozzarella cheese generously over the prepared tomato and egg mixture. The cheese will melt beautifully, enriching the overall flavor of the soup.
Step 5
Now, transfer this delicious mixture into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, and your warm and tasty tomato egg soup will be ready! Serve immediately once the egg is cooked and the cheese is melted. It’s truly that simple!
