Crispy Tomato and Eggs

One of our favorite breakfasts! Easy and delicious, good for any time of the year.

The key here is not to rush the process, use the freshest eggs possible and have enough coffee in the pot for a second cup while you wait for the dish to evolve.

Crispy Tomato and Eggs

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 large cloves of garlic
  • 3/4 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 4 Tbs olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Step by Step

  1. Cut tomatoes in half and put in a non stick pan with olive oil over medium /low heat.
  2. Let cook until they start to soften....gently mash them down and let the juices evaporate.
  3. Once the juices have evaporated, add thinly sliced garlic.
  4. Once the juices have evaporated, add thinly sliced garlic.
  5. Let continue to cook until it starts to crisp up a bit and garlic starts to turn golden brown, stirring occasionally. Don't let the garlic get too brown as it will become bitter
  6. Make sure the bottom of the pan is evenly covered with the tomato garlic mixture.
  7. Turn up the heat a bit and add the eggs with a bit of space between them.
  8. As the eggs start to set up, gently push the whites so 4 separate egg “islands” form.
  9. Turn up the heat a bit and add the eggs with a bit of space between them.
  10. When the edges of the “islands” start to brown, flip the eggs and add a good hit of salt and pepper and turn off the heat.
  11. Let sit for a minute for beautiful runny yokes, a bit more time for more firm eggs.
  12. If you like, sprinkle with a few chili flakes for a little more zing.
  13. Serve with crispy toast. Guarantee you will lick the plate clean!
