Eggs in Tomato Broth
From the Kitchen of: Angela
Source: It's an old Italian recipe that has been handed down
to many people and probably may appear in many cookbooks. This one
recipe is as I remember my mother making them.
The only thing unique about it is that we enjoyed it very much
whenever my mother made it.
1 | tbsp | Olive oil |
3 | | Cloves garlic, chopped |
16 | oz | Tomato puree or chopped tomato |
1 | tsp | Dried or fresh basil |
4 | | Eggs |
| | Salt & pepper to taste |
- Heat oil in a skillet, then add garlic and cook them until they
begin to turn golden brown.
- Add the basil and tomato and simmer 4 to 5 minutes.
- Carefully break each egg into the simmering tomatoes. Add the salt
and pepper, cover the skillet and let cook 5 to 7 minutes or until the
eggs are set.
- Serve the eggs in soup bowls with plenty of Italian bread to dip
into the tomato broth.
