Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 small yellow onion
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 30g feta cheese
  • 2 roasted red peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Red pepper to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • A pinch of sugar
  • Chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat up a pan with olive oil and add the chopped yellow onion. Cook until it turns yellow.

  2. Add the chopped roasted red pepper and cook for a couple of minutes, then pour in the tomato puree. Add a pinch of sugar to neutralize the acidity, salt to taste and cover with a lid to prevent making a mess. Cook for another couple of minutes.

  3. Make 2 pockets in the tomato puree and add the 2 eggs, then cover with the lid again and cook.

  4. When the eggs are ready, add the feta, red and black pepper as toppings and serve.

This dish goes well with any bread, but my personal favorites are wholegrain bread and flatbread. The recipe makes 1 serving.
