Poached Eggs With Tomatoes

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon butter or olive oil
2 Eggs
7 cherry tomatoes diced, (or half a large tomato diced)
1/2 of an Onion, diced
1 Teaspoon of Garlic Salt
1 Teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Salt & pepper as needed (not pictured)
Parsley, chopped for garnish (not pictured)
2 Slices of bread for dipping
Feta cheese (optional, not pictured)

Instructions

On high heat with butter, lightly saute the onion until slightly brown (2-3 min)
Add tomatoes, season with garlic salt, and let simmer on medium heat with the lid on until tomatoes become slightly orange (2-3 min)
Add 2 eggs, season with garlic salt, salt & pepper, and red pepper flakes
Close with lid and turn off the stovetop. Turning off the stovetop lets the eggs poach slowly without overcooking them. Let cook for about 5-7min. (you can check the doneness by lightly shaking the pan- the only part that should move is the yolk area -that means the eggs are done)
Garnish with parsley and serve with bread. You can also serve it with feta cheese. Enjoy!
