Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced onions, green bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- While the sauce is simmering, poach the eggs. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl or ramekin. Gently slide each egg into the simmering water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
- Place a slice of toast on each plate. Spoon the Creole sauce over the toast and top with a poached egg.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
