Tuscan-Style Eggs and Tomato

This Tuscan-Style Eggs and Tomato dish is a vibrant, hearty, and satisfying meal that brings the essence of Italian cooking right to your kitchen. This simple yet iconic dish combines the richness of eggs with the freshness of vine-ripened tomatoes, infused with aromatic garlic and crowned with fresh basil. Known in Italy as 'Uova al Pomodoro', it's a beloved breakfast and brunch dish that will transport your senses to the sun-drenched Tuscan countryside.

Serves 2

Ingredients

Fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup, torn
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
Sea salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons
Ripe tomatoes
4 medium, diced
Eggs
4 large

Instructions

  1. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring frequently. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices, stirring occasionally.
  4. Create four small wells in the tomato mixture using a spoon. Carefully crack an egg into each well, ensuring not to break the yolk.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 4-5 minutes until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
  6. Season the dish with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
  7. Sprinkle the torn fresh basil leaves over the top of the dish just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and flavor.
  8. Serve the dish hot, ideally with a side of crusty bread to mop up the delicious juices. Enjoy your taste of Tuscany!

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic.
  • 💡 You can use canned diced tomatoes when fresh ones are not in season. Just make sure to drain the excess liquid before adding them to the skillet.
