Author Notes
I often make this for a quick breakfast with a friend. You may also use an equivalent measure of grape tomatoes, halved. —creamtea
Ingredients
-
2-3 tablespoons
decent olive oil
-
1/2-1
small shallot, minced
-
4
Medium, flavorful tomatoes, diced (the red-brown 4 inch diameter "black velvet" variety work well
-
4
eggs
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
2
slices sourdough or peasant bread, toasted
Directions
-
In a medium frypan, heat oil on low flame Add minced shallot and saute until almost translucent (avoid burning).
-
Add diced tomatoes. They will release their juices; cook until thoroughly softened and the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Break eggs into a glass and add to the sauce; at this point you can cover lightly. Keep checking until done to your preference (I like a runny yolk)
-
Meanwhile, toast a couple of slices of good bread.
-
Divvy up and serve the eggs and tomatoes over the toast. Season with more salt and pepper as desired.
