Ingredients

  • 6 ripe tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 red and 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 chili pepper thinly sliced (leave it out for little ones)
  • 2 garlic cloves grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Celtic or Redmond Real Salt and 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4 large eggs

Method

  1. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, peppers and chili, and cook slowly until soft, sweet and caramelized.
  2. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer until the tomatoes melt into a thick sauce.
  4. Make four little wells and crack an egg into each one. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft and runny.
