Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red onion (diced (about 1 cup))
3 cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
1 can reduced-sodium chickpeas ((15 ounces), rinsed and drained)
1 jar good-quality tomato pasta sauce ((24 ounces))
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 ounces baby spinach
4 large eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated )
fresh basil (chopped)
Baguette slices (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the chickpeas, tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and let cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, letting it wilt.
  • With the back of a spoon, make 4 indentations in the sauce. Crack one egg inside of each, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the whole dish.
  • Carefully transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve hot with baguette slices.

A quick tomato sauce seasoned with thyme and studded with pimento-stuffed olives forms the base for this simple stovetop-baked egg dish. Toasted garlic-rubbed country bread is key for mopping up the sauce and the runny yolks.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 fresh thyme sprigs, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup gin or white wine
One 28- to 32-ounce can whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup pimento stuffed olives, sliced plus 1/4 cup olive brine
8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices toasted country bread

Steps:

  • Smash 3 of the garlic cloves. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the smashed garlic, onions and thyme, and cook, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the gin and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes, olives and olive brine and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, while breaking up the tomatoes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Make 8 shallow wells in the sauce. Working with 1 egg at a time, crack into a ramekin or glass measure, and then gently pour into the wells. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme if using.
  • Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining garlic clove and serve with the sauce and eggs.

NORTH AFRICAN-STYLE POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY



North African-style Poached Eggs In Tomato Sauce Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, garlic, medium onion, salt, pepper, turmeric, paprika, cumin, harissa paste, tomato paste, diced tomato, large eggs, fresh parsley, baguette

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons harissa paste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
28 oz diced tomato, 2 cans
5 large eggs
fresh parsley, chopped, to serve
1 loaf baguette, to serve

Steps:

  • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to slightly brown.
  • Add the spices and harissa paste, cooking the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the point where pressing down with a spoon leaves an indent that holds its shape.
  • Taking the back of a large spoon, make 5 large indents into the sauce, using a left-to-right wiggling motion to ensure that the "walls" of the sauce are tall enough to hold an egg.
  • Crack the eggs into each of the indents, then cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  • NOTE: To speed the process up, cover the skillet with a large lid.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley, remove from heat, and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well.
  • Use good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but you can use regular olive oil if that's all you have.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. They should be cooked through, but still have a slightly runny yolk.
  • Serve the eggs poached in tomato olive sauce over rice, pasta, or toast. You can also add a side of salad or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Eggs poached in tomato olive sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and eggs, and it is also a very healthy meal. The eggs are a good source of protein and the tomatoes are a good source of vitamins and minerals.
