Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 slices rustic sourdough bread
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Meticulously chop tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion into uniform pieces while finely mincing garlic for optimal flavor infusion.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, gently sautéing onions and bell peppers until they become translucent and slightly softened, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Introduce diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and ground cumin into the vegetable mixture, allowing the ingredients to meld and simmer, reducing and thickening the sauce for about 8-10 minutes.
- Carefully create small indentations in the fragrant tomato sauce, strategically positioning each egg into its designated well.
- Reduce heat to low, covering the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and allowing eggs to gently poach for 6-7 minutes until egg whites appear fully set while maintaining luxuriously runny yolks.
- Meanwhile, transform sourdough slices into golden, crispy platforms by toasting them to a rich amber color.
- Artfully transfer the spiced tomato mixture atop each toasted slice, crowning the creation with a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for a tangy, creamy finish.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting cumin and adding smoked paprika for deeper flavor complexity.
- Prep vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use cast iron skillet for better heat distribution and creating delicious crispy bottom layer of sauce.
- Make vegetarian recipe gluten-free by substituting sourdough with gluten-free bread or roasted sweet potato slices.
