This breakfast dish is actually inspired by my little sister Annie. She concocted this recipe using Italian herbs bought from a specialty store in New York City (another post on specialty food stores coming in the near future). It is comprised of fried eggs topped with sauteed onions, plum tomatoes, Italian dry herbs, and soy sauce.
My dish is a simple version of this, taking only a few minutes to make. They go so well with whole wheat toasts. Try them out for a breakfast change.
INGREDIENTS: servings of 2
butter
olive oil
4 eggs
1 tablespoon or more of soy sauce
1 or 2 medium size plum tomatoes
2 slices of whole wheat toasts
half of an onion diced (white or red)
DIRECTIONS:
1) In a non-stick pan, pour in olive oil and butter.
2) Fry the eggs over easy. Season with dry parsley, a pinch of chili flakes and half a tablespoon of soy sauce (or more, according to taste).
3) Transfer the eggs to a plate.
4) Pour in a little more olive oil, saute the onions and tomatoes. Season with the rest of the soy sauce.
5) Pour the tomato chutney over the eggs, add a pinch of pepper (and salt if needed) and serve with whole wheat toasts.
One of my favorite breakfast dishes! I actually don't like tomatoes very much - unless they're cooked with eggs. In fact, it's quite tasty to cook them before the eggs, or even with them, to further incorporate the flavor of the tomato in the egg. It's really up to the chef. :)
ReplyDeleteYou do an amazing job with this recipe. Sometimes, I put the eggs back in the pan and fold the tomato sauce over the eggs to get more flavor. Thanks for the suggestions :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a simple a delicious dish. I ate this every morning with my sister with some English Breakfast tea when I was visiting her. It is hard to eat a full traditional breakfast every morning but this never gets old...I love it! Making it for breakfast tomorrow.
