Preparation

How to prepare Eggs with Tomato Sauce

To prepare eggs with tomato sauce, first cut the cherry tomatoes into 1/2 inch cubes 1. In a non-stick pan, pour some olive oil, add the finely chopped onion 2, and sauté for 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes 3.

Season with salt 4 and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Use a ladle to create small spaces 5, there's no need to make a real hole, just move the cherry tomatoes a bit. Pour the eggs into the spaces 6.

Lightly salt the egg whites 7, and add a sprinkle of pepper 8. Cover with a lid 9 and cook for 5 minutes.

This way, you'll have well-cooked whites and soft yolks 10. If you prefer your eggs more cooked, you can extend the cooking time. Finish with some freshly chopped parsley 11. The eggs with tomato sauce are ready to be enjoyed 12.

Storage

Eggs with tomato sauce can be stored in the fridge, in a closed container, for up to 1 day. Before enjoying them again, gently reheat them in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water.

Advice

If the tomatoes are not ripe enough, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste to give them more color. If they are out of season, use tomato sauce or canned tomatoes to make excellent eggs in purgatory. You can enrich the recipe with black olives, capers, and oregano. If you love spicy food, add a fresh chili pepper to fry with the onion.
