Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 4 eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.

    Drain the eggs and cool under cold running water for 2 minutes. Peel and slice into 1/4-inch rounds.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the 4 yellow tomatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Arrange the tomato and egg slices on a serving platter, alternating them.

  4. Step 4

    Tuck the 10 basil leaves among the tomato and egg slices. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons olive oil.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle with the 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried oregano or a splash of balsamic vinegar if you have them.
