BreakfastEasy

Eggs gently poached in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce, served straight from the pan.

Ingredients

2 servings

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 oz feta, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, and bread to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and soften the onion and pepper for 6 minutes

  2. Add the garlic and spices and stir for 1 minute

  3. Pour in the tomatoes, season and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly thick

  4. Make four hollows with a spoon and crack an egg into each

  5. Cover and cook over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the whites are set

  6. Scatter feta and herbs over the top

  7. Set the pan on a wooden board and dip bread into the sauce together

Tips

  • Gluten-free without the bread; contains eggs and milk (feta)
  • Leave the yolks runny, or cook a few minutes longer for firm ones
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes or a little harissa for more heat
