I’ve seen this recipe a few times lately, and have been meaning to have a little “eggsperiment” ……sorry that’s really cringe-worthy!
Most recently I saw this on Nigellissima – I have mixed opinions on some of her recipes, but this one looked really quick, easy and tasty.
The first step is to make the tomato sauce. All you will need is:
- Chopped red chilli
- Grated garlic
- Tinned tomatoes
Gently start to cook the garlic and chilli in some olive oil, being careful not to burn the garlic. Then add the tinned tomatoes, season and gently heat to a simmer.
Once the sauce is bubbling away, crack an egg into the middle of the pan, and cover so that the egg poaches in the sauce. You want the white of the egg to be cooked but the yolk to still be runny. That’s it – eat straight from the pan with a chunk of bread.
Apologies for the photo not being the neatest, but this is definitely a pretty rustic meal! Seriously tasty though so worth posting despite a messy picture I think.

Simple is best!
Definitely! Really loved how yummy this was despite only a handful of ingredients!
I never saw this before. How interestingly delicious! Love poached eggs!
It was definitely a really new thing for me, but well worth trying as it’s super easy!
I’ve always wanted to make this but never have. You’ve inspired me to give it a try!
Try it! I was slightly dubious whether I would like it but it’s really tasty! Let me know how it goes!!
This looks delicious! I’m going to try it! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting – glad you like it! It’s definitely worth a try!
simple yes but you need the right pan – and in this case it should be the black cast iron skillet similar to that used by Nigella…
Not sure I totally agree on this one – it certainly looks prettier in a mini black cast iron skillet but it cooked well and tasted great in this mini pan!
