Tasty Tuesdays: Caprese Skillet Eggs

Welcome to Tasty Tuesdays!

Guys, this dish is amazing - I loved it!  The recipe is very simple and it would be great for any meal.

{ Original recipe from the September 2012 issue of Sunset Magazine.  I changed a few things }

Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/2 cup onion, diced

- 28 oz jar / can of tomatoes; roughly chopped

- 4 large eggs

- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella cheese; cut into very small pieces

- handful of fresh basil; chopped

- handful of fresh chives; chopped

- salt & pepper to taste

My Mom & I canned tomatoes this Summer so that's what I used here.  The original recipe calls for fresh tomatoes, which I would definitely use if making this recipe when tomatoes are in season. Right now, I don't see any use in buying the tomatoes at the grocery store - they are awful!

I opened this jar and it smelled like Summer!

1.  Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat.  I used my made in the USA Lodge Cast Iron Skillet.  Add onion and saute until translucent   about 3 minutes.  Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer until tomatoes are heated through. 

2.  Use a spoon to make four wells in the tomato mixture.  Carefully crack and egg into each well.  Cover pan and cook until whites are firm and yolks start to set up; about 3 minutes.

3.  Turn off heat; sprinkle mozzarella over eggs and cover pan until cheese starts to melt; about 2 minutes.  Sprinkle with herbs and serve.  Serve with fresh toasted bread, like sour dough.

I love fresh, simple food like this.  Nothing fake or processed - just real, wholesome food.
