Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Sautéing the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and stir well. Season with salt and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.

  3. 3

    Adding the Eggs

    Create small wells in the tomato mixture and gently crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Garnishing

    Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for garnish. Serve warm with bread.
