Tangy Spiced Tomato Egg Tart...Delicious Twist on a Parsi Special - Peri's Spice Ladle

Then top the prepared base with a generous layer of well-beaten seasoned eggs or a whole egg sunny-side up, and cook them covered till they set; sometimes I like to pop the pan into the oven for a golden crust over the eggs.
