2
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 fat garlic clove, peeled and smashed
- 1 (400 g) can diced tomatoes with juice
- sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 leaves fresh basil, torn up or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 large eggs
directions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot.
- Pour in the olive oil and heat that until it just starts to shimmer.
- Add the garlic and saute just until it begins to be fragrant.
- Pour in the tinned tomatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper and throw in the basil leaves.
- Turn the heat down to low and simmer for a few minutes until the flavours meld and the tomatoes have reduced a bit.
- Break the eggs into the pan, leaving some space between them if possible. (This all depends on the size of your pan)
- Cook until the whites just start to set, then pop a cover on and finish cooking until eggs are set and done to your taste. We like them so that the yolks are a bit runny.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt and cracked black pepper over the yolks and serve with toasted bread fingers for dipping.

I love these poached eggs. I am on a low starch/sugar diet and these were wonderful. Very flavorful and much better than eggs poached in a plain tomatoe sauce. I used canola oil(was out of olive oil or I would have used it).Added minced onion,garlic and tabasco sauce. Once the eggs were to my liking I sprinkled a little salt,pepper and oregano over them. I could not use the toasted bread but definetly try them for dipping in the sauce. Thanks for a delightful recipe.
