2. Mix the sautéed tomatoes and onions and place 1 tablespoon into each potato nest.
3. Break the eggs one at a time into a cup, and transfer into each potato nest.
4. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil so no steam escapes, and finish cooking in the oven for about 5-8 minutes, or until whites are firm and yolk is soft.
