Quick and Easy Dinner


I saw this on Martha Stewart and thought it looked delicious. It was very simple in both preparation and ingredients. So delicious and perfect for a last minute dinner.

Poached Eggs on Tomato Sauce
Serves 4
  • 1 can (28 ounces) whole plum tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices toasted country bread, for serving
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  1. Transfer tomatoes and their juices to the jar of a blender. Blend until tomatoes are coarsely chopped; set aside.
  2. In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add tomato sauce and bring to a boil; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
  3. Gently crack eggs into tomato mixture, cover, and let cook 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, uncover, and let stand 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Transfer each egg to a piece of toast. Spoon over sauce, garnish with cheese, and season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

Sounds pretty yummy ... even to an anti-tomato person like me :)

I saw this on Martha Stewart, also. It looks so good. Although, I am not even close to a Smiley, so it would be even a challenge for me! :)
