Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • Smash 3 of the cloves of garlic. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion, thyme and smashed garlic and cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the gin and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice, the olives and 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 salt and a couple turns of pepper.
  • Make 8 shallow wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes.
  • Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining 1 clove of garlic and serve with the eggs.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of eggs and tomatoes seems a bit odd.

The eggs were overcooked and the sauce was too acidic. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more herbs or spices.

The tomato sauce was delicious and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly, but I found the olives to be a bit overpowering.
