Introduction

Oh, this is goooood! It's a regular Sunday morning breakfast which is a great filling alternative to the time consuming yet no more delicious full fried breakfast. You do need a pan with a lid that is big enough to crack 4 eggs into the tomatoey mixture - eyeball your pots before you start (mine is 28cm diameter with a glass lid so I can check on the eggies as they cook without removing the lid and letting the steam out)

Ingredients

Serves: 2 hungry people

Metric Cups

4 large eggs (good quality)
1 can tomato
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika (good quality)
½ teaspoon sumac
2 cloves garlic (minced)
6 baby potatoes (cut into 1-2cm cubes)
3 tablespoons olive oil (if this is brunch I don't feel the least bit guilty about this amount of oil - it's two meals in one after all!)

Heat the oil then throw in the potatoes and garlic, cooking until browned on all sides with the middles beginning to soften

Add the spices and turn well in the pan

Add the tomatoes and turn well in the pan, cook for a min or two adding a splash of water if too dry (you need a bit of sauce with this recipe)

Now for the eggs - spread the tomatoey sauce evenly in the pan then use your spatula to make four little wells

Into each "well", crack an egg - don't be scared, just do it! Sprinkle with lots of freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of Maldon salt

Quickly put the lid on, turn heat down as low as you can then put the timer on - 2mins for runny, 3 mins for just set, 4 mins for cooked through

Spoon out two eggs per person and some of the tomatoey potatoes and serve with fabulous bread of your choice - I make cumin and coriander seed flatbreads yum yum yum!
