Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until hot.
- Add the sliced red peppers, finely chopped jalapeno peppers, and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
3. Add Garlic and Spices:
- Stir in the minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
5. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Using the back of a spoon, create 8 small wells in the simmering tomato mixture.
- Crack an egg into each well, making sure the egg whites and yolks remain intact.
8. Cook the Eggs:
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve hot directly from the skillet with crusty bread or your favorite side.
Tips:
- Prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the number of jalapenos or remove the seeds.
- For added flavor, you can use fire-roasted canned tomatoes.
- Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness. You can cover the skillet with a lid to help the eggs cook more evenly.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for extra freshness.
The tomato-egg skillet with red peppers and jalapenos is a versatile and delicious meal that is sure to please your taste buds. The blend of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors, combined with the creamy texture of the eggs, makes this dish a favorite for any time of day. Enjoy this skillet meal with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top and serve it with crusty bread or warm tortillas for a complete and satisfying meal.
