Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon in half. Scoop out a few balls or cubes of watermelon with a melon baller or knife, creating a small well in the center of one half. Save the watermelon pieces for garnishing or a side dish.
Crack the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, being careful not to break the yolks if you prefer them whole. Lightly beat them with a fork, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the Eggs in Watermelon: Pour the beaten eggs into the hollowed-out center of the watermelon half. Place this on a baking sheet.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the watermelon with eggs for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs and, if desired, a sprinkle of crumbled cheese. The cheese adds a creamy texture that beautifully complements the crisp sweetness of the watermelon and the savory eggs.
