A delightful and quick dish combining the tanginess of tomatoes with the richness of eggs, perfect for any meal.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the pan is evenly heated to prevent sticking.
Add the olive oil and let it warm until it shimmers.
Shimmering oil indicates it's ready for cooking.
Sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Avoid browning the garlic to prevent bitterness.
Add the tomatoes and cook until they soften.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the basil leaves.
Tear the basil leaves for a more intense flavor release.
Create small wells in the tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well.
Ensure the wells are deep enough to hold the eggs.
Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are set and yolks are to your liking.
For runny yolks, cook for a shorter time.
Serve hot with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
