Mexican Eggs

Ingredients (serves 2)

  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 (about 300g) tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 red capsicum, seeded, finely chopped
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) chicken stock
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbs coarsely grated cheddar
  • Chopped fresh continental parsley, to serve
  • Toast, to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a 20cm (base measurement) non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and paprika, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the tomato and capsicum, and cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes or until the tomato is soft.
  2. Add the stock. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper. Crack 1 egg into a small cup. Use the back of a spoon to make a hollow in the sauce. Pour in the egg. Repeat with the remaining egg. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are set.
  3. Sprinkle with the cheddar and parsley. Serve with toast.

Notes


  • Serves 2 as a light meal.
