Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Chop the onion

    Peel the onion and cut it into small, even cubes on the cutting board.

  2. Cook the onion

    In the nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook for 3 min, stirring, until translucent.

  3. Add the tomatoes

    Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet with the onion. Season lightly with salt and pepper and simmer over low heat, stirring now and then.

  4. Toast the bread

    While the tomatoes cook, put the bread slices in the hot skillet (no extra fat) and toast them 2 min per side over medium heat until golden.

  5. Cook the eggs

    In the medium saucepan, bring 25 cl of water to a boil. Crack 3 eggs into small bowls, then poach them in the boiling water for 3 min: the whites should be set but the yolks still soft. Lift them out with a spoon and drain on paper towels.

    Tip · For perfect poached eggs, swirl the water in a circle before sliding the eggs in: it wraps them up better.
  6. Serve

    Divide the tomatoes and onion between two shallow bowls. Set 2 poached eggs on each serving and serve with the toast.

    Tip · For a little extra kick, add a pinch of Espelette pepper or mild chili flakes to the eggs before serving.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. Bread and wraps get soggy when they sit with the filling. Prep the filling ahead if you want, and put it together the day you eat it!
