Description
Tasty and Healthy Breakfast/Brunch that is quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
1 Red Onion
4 Tomatoes
4 Cloves of Garlic
1 Red Pepper
1 Green Pepper
2 tbsp Olive Oil
3 Eggs
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Veggie stock cube/pot
100ml Water
Instructions
1. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat(Important it has a lid). When hot add the oil and let it heat up
2. Add the Onion and Peppers with a pinch of salt, don’t let them brown too much. Once softened add the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and fry for a minute. Then add the garlic and cook for a further minute
3. Now add the Paprika, Smoked Paprika, Cumin and Cayenne Pepper and cook for about another minute
4. Add the stock cube/pot and mix in. Add a little water if needed, you want a good amount of juice for poaching the eggs in later. Not too much liquid though or your plate will be swimming! Just make sure you can’t see the bottom of the pan
5. Cover with the lid and reduce the heat leaving it to simmer for 10 minutes
6. Finally crack the eggs into the the sauce evenly around the pan. Recover with the lid and let poach for about another 5 minutes. This largely depends on how runny you want the yolk
Notes
- Top with some chunks of Feta or Goat’s cheese for extra yumminess
- Sliced Avocado or a simple Guacamole goes well to balance out the spiciness
- If you aren’t a vegetarian, you can add in some spiced/herbed sausages to good effect. I recommend grilling them first or browning them in the pan before any of the above steps.
- Another addition I like is a handful of spinach mixed in just before you add the eggs
