Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Émincer oignon et poivron

    Épluche l’oignon et coupe-le en petits dés. Lave le poivron, retire les graines et les membranes blanches, puis coupe-le en lanières fines.

  2. Faire revenir légumes

    Dans la poêle antiadhésive, verse l’huile à feu moyen. Ajoute l’oignon et le poivron, fais-les revenir 5 min en remuant jusqu’à ce qu’ils ramollissent sans colorer.

  3. Ajouter tomates et épices

    Verse les tomates concassées dans la poêle avec le paprika et une pincée de sel. Mélange bien et laisse mijoter à feu doux 10 min en remuant de temps en temps pour que la sauce épaississe.

    Tip · Si la sauce est trop liquide, laisse-la réduire 2-3 min de plus à feu vif en remuant sans cesse.

  4. Pocher les œufs

    Avec la fourchette, creuse deux petits puits dans la sauce tomate. Casse un œuf dans chaque puits, couvre la poêle et laisse cuire 5 min à feu très doux pour que les blancs soient pris mais les jaunes encore tremblotants.

    Tip · Pour des œufs plus cuits, prolonge la cuisson de 1-2 min sous couvercle.

  5. Griller le pain

    Pendant que les œufs cuisent, passe les tranches de pain à la poêle à sec (sans matière grasse) 2 min de chaque côté pour les dorer légèrement.

  6. Servir chaud

    Répartis la sauce tomate aux œufs dans deux assiettes creuses. Pose une tranche de pain grillé à côté de chaque portion.
