  • 1 onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 4 tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth 120 ml
  • 4 eggs
  • pinch sea salt
  • dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut each slice of baguette into 6 evenly sized cubes, for a total of 24 cubes, roughly chop the onion, thinly slice the garlic, cut the bell peppers into small bite-sized pieces and finely grate the tomatoes

  2. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add the olive oil

  3. After a couple minutes add in the cubes of bread, mix continuously, after 3 to 4 minutes and they´re golden fried, remove from the pan and set aside

  4. Using the same pan with the same heat add in the onion, bell pepper and garlic, mix with the olive oil, after 5 minutes and the vegetables are lightly sauteed, add in the paprika and thyme, quickly mix together, then add in the grated tomato and season with sea salt, black pepper and a kiss of white sugar, mix together and simmer

  5. Once the grated tomato has slightly thickened up, about 5 minutes, add in the pieces of fried bread back into the pan, along with the vegetable broth, give it a mix and bring to a boil, then add in the eggs, making sure to evenly spread them around, place a lid on the pan and lower to a low-medium heat, cook until the eggs are just cooked through, between 3 to 5 minutes

  6. Serve directly out of the pan, sprinkled with finely chopped fresh parsley, enjoy!
