Ingredients
- 1 medium eggplant
- 2 pieces pepper
- 2 medium tomato
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces eggs
Method
- Cut the eggplant and pepper into bite-sized cubes, and dice the tomatoes, then mince the garlic cloves.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat and add the eggplant cubes, frying for about 5 minutes until golden and softened.
- Add the diced pepper to the skillet and continue cooking for 3 minutes until the pepper begins to soften.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and minced garlic, then reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 4 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a thick sauce.
- Make four small wells in the vegetable mixture and crack one egg into each well, then cover the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
- Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the finished dish and serve directly from the skillet while hot.
