This is similar to a Tunisian meal my husband makes. The only differences are that he uses freshly chopped tomatoes, more garlic, one or two additional spices, and he might also throw a jalapeno or two in. Then it’s eaten with bread (not on bread). It’s delicious!

Thank you for this great recipe! The first time I made it, I used tomato puree but it turned out extremely sour and tart. The second time I used a can of whole plum tomatoes instead, coarsely chopping the tomatoes up into large chunks when it was in the pan, and it turned out lovely even without any sugar! I also chopped up an onion in there.. couldn’t resist trying to stir around the egg a bit, so it came out slightly scrambled in appearance, but absolutely delicious. I had them with crispbread for dinner and with a slice of toast for breakfast.. yum! I plan to try them plain with a bunch of other vegetables thrown in. This recipe is a lifesaver – so easy and quick to fix, inexpensive and relatively healthy!

Simple yet delicious recipes like this are great for college students like myself with limited budgets and time. I always seem to have eggs and tomato sauce on hand, but I had never thought of combing them before now. Will definitely be making this recipe again, thanks!

Tried this on Sunday and it was amazing – and it was a relief to have an indulgent tasting brunch that was healthy! I found that making a bit of a space in the tomatoes for each egg helped – it just made them a bit easier to serve.

This was good and easy. You could use pasta sauce as a substitute. It wasn’t spectacular but I will keep it in the back of my head in case of emergency.

I made this – more or less – for breakfast with the parents on Christmas day. It was a hit! I poached their eggs in the normal fashion, and beat mine first since I don’t do hard egg whites. They all came out great. Very easy and tasty breakfast. Next time, I would use the Trader Joe’s Italian starter sauce since it has such great flavor and doesn’t need any doctoring. Thanks for the recipe!
