Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 slices Crusty bread or pita (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using. Stir well.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the tomato mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Using a spoon, create four small wells in the tomato mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook the eggs for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (longer if you prefer fully cooked yolks).
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita on the side for dipping.
