Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Balanced Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes stems removed
  • 1/2 cup onions chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese (fontina, Manchego or aged white cheddar)
  • 4 thick slices of toasted crusty Italian bread
  • fresh Italian parsley chopped
  • Traditional Style Balsamic Reduction to drizzle

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat until oil is hot but not smoking. Add the tomatoes and cook over high heat, stirring, until blistered and softened, about 5 minutes. Incorporate the onions and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the tomatoes are juicy, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, basil, salt and black pepper.
  • Add the eggs one at a time by breaking each egg into a small cup. With a spatula make an indentation in the sizzling tomatoes and slip the egg into the indentation. Sprinkle with cheese and cover and cook over medium-low heat until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to scoop out servings of eggs and juicy tomatoes onto think sliced toasted crusty Italian bread. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and serve.
