Use tomatoes held at room temperature until fully ripe. Preheat oven to 350. Cut off stem end of each tomato. Scoop out pulp (save for stews, soups, etc.) leaving 1/4 inch thick shells. Turn tomatoes upside down to drain; set aside.
Heat a large skillet until hot. Add sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is browned, about 3 minutes. Add green pepper, celery, garlic and thyme. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in eggs. Spoon meat mixture into reserved tomato shells. Place in shallow baking pan containing 1/2 inch water. Cover and bake until tomatoes are tender, 20-25 minutes. Yields 4 portions. Festival: The French Market Tomato Festival; June 3-4, 1995 Recipe: Pamela Hodson
