Instructions

  1. Peel and finely slice the onion, crush the garlic, and dice the tomatoes into small cubes.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent.
  3. Add the garlic, paprika and tomatoes, then let simmer for 8 minutes until you have a thick sauce.
  4. Crack the eggs straight into the sauce, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.
  5. Season with salt, pepper and chilli, then scatter over coriander if you have some.
  6. Serve straight away with the slices of bread to soak up the sauce.
