Eggs are a fantastic, healthy protein that are crucial for controlling your blood sugar levels. In America, eggs are frequently associated with breakfast, but they also make a delicious lunch or dinner dish. Warm whole grain bread is recommended for dipping.

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 6 stalks scallions, sliced
  3. 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  4. 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  5. 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  6. 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  7. sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  8. ½ teaspoon honey
  9. 4 large eggs
  10. 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a small cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and saute until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cumin.
  2. Add tomatoes, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Taste and add honey if tomatoes aren’t sweet enough. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens a bit, about 15 minutes.
  3. Crack 1 egg into each quarter of the skillet. Spread the whites with a fork so that they cover the surface evenly. Simmer until the eggs are still soft inside but not runny, about 5 minutes, or to your liking. Serve garnished with cilantro.
  4. Regular onions or shallots are great instead of scallions.

I decided to give this a try for a casual Sunday morning. Easy to assemble and it was a “Wow”! I did use a bit of honey to add to the flavor. It was such a different recipe for breakfast, so I had to try it. I served it with an English muffin.
