Best Charred Tomatoes With Fried Eggs On Garlic Toast Recipes

TASTY TOMATO FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot.
• Pour in the olive oil and heat that until it just starts to shimmer.
• Add the garlic and saute just until it begins to be fragrant.
• Pour in the tinned tomatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper and throw in the basil leaves.
• Turn the heat down to low and simmer for a few minutes until the flavours meld and the tomatoes have reduced a bit.
• Break the eggs into the pan, leaving some space between them if possible. (This all depends on the size of your pan)
• Cook until the whites just start to set, then pop a cover on and finish cooking until eggs are set and done to your taste. We like them so that the yolks are a bit runny.
• Sprinkle a little sea salt and cracked black pepper over the yolks and serve with toasted bread fingers for dipping.

CHARRED TOMATOES WITH EGG, ANCHOVIES AND BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Make the bread crumbs: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put bread cubes in a mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper and toss well. Spread on a baking sheet in one layer and bake uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Set aside to cool. When cool, crush into very coarse crumbs.
• Make the vinaigrette: Put the garlic in a small bowl with the vinegar, mustard and a pinch of salt. Whisk in 1/4 cup of olive oil. Set aside.
• Prepare a charcoal grill or light the broiler. Cut larger tomatoes into 1-inch-thick slices or leave smaller ones whole. Place tomatoes on the hottest part of the grill and let them char for about 3 minutes on one side if using a broiler, or place tomatoes on a baking sheet as close to the flame as possible. Tomatoes should still be firm.
• Place tomatoes and eggs on a platter or divide among 4 plates. Sprinkle lightly with salt and spoon dressing over. Drape anchovy fillets over eggs and add a generous handful of bread crumbs. Garnish with basil, parsley and crushed red pepper.
