Eggs in Tomato Sauce: A Beloved Greek Delight

Eggs poached in a flavorful tomato sauce, perfect for dipping with bread! This beloved traditional Greek dish brings back memories of our childhood. It is an ideal countryside dish - quick, easy, incredibly tasty, and enhanced with crumbled feta cheese and pure virgin olive oil. What could be more delicious to choose for today's meal? A freshly baked, crusty loaf of bread is a must-have accompaniment!

Ingredients:

1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
4 fresh onions, finely chopped
4 ripe tomatoes, pureed
3-4 eggs
1 dried onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
50 grams crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4-5 basil leaves, finely chopped
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, a pinch of sugar

Directions

In a deep skillet, saute the dried onion, bell peppers, and fresh onions. Then add the minced garlic and fresh onions. Stir quickly and add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and basil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the liquids are reduced.
Break the eggs and carefully place them into the sauce, ensuring not to break the yolks. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook gently in the sauce.
Once the egg yolks are cooked to your desired consistency, the dish is ready. Serve with freshly ground pepper and crumbled feta cheese on top. Alongside the dish, don't forget a small loaf of freshly baked, aromatic bread! It's the ultimate combination!

If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add a dash of hot pepper.
This dish can be served on slices of bread or even with pita bread.
If you have a large quantity of eggs and sauce, you can prepare the sauce in the skillet and then transfer it to an oven-safe dish. Place the eggs and crumbled feta cheese on top and finish it in the oven.

Indulge in the delightful combination of eggs in tomato sauce, and enjoy the nostalgic flavors of this traditional Greek dish. Let each bite transport you to a place of culinary bliss, and savor the perfect harmony of flavors.
