Ingredients for Eggs with Tomato
- 4 eggs
- 1 shallot (large)
- 1.5 cups tomato sauce
- 3.5 tbsp water
- A few leaves basil
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Tools
- 1 Pan with lid
Preparation of Eggs with Tomato
Peel the shallot and chop it finely. I used a manual cord chopper that I find really convenient. If you wish to purchase it, you can find it by clicking HERE.
In a pan, heat three tablespoons of oil and sauté the shallot. Let it sizzle for a few moments, then add the tomato sauce, water, a few basil leaves, and a pinch of salt.
Cook over low heat for 10 minutes without a lid. If the sauce is slightly acidic, add a pinch of baking soda.
Now crack the eggs into the tomato sauce, then salt and pepper them to taste. Cover with the lid and continue cooking for 6/7 minutes over low heat.
Finally, add the mozzarella cut into pieces, put the lid back on, and finish cooking for the time needed to melt the cheese.
Fragrance the eggs with tomato and mozzarella with more basil leaves torn by hand and serve them immediately, very hot. Don’t forget to toast some slices of bread because dunking is a must here. Enjoy! Paola.
