Ingredients

  • 50 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 piece Chili peppers, green chili, fresh

  • 1 piece Bell pepper, green, fresh

  • 500 g Tomato, red

  • 2 teaspoons Tomato, concentrate, without salt

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 4 pieces Egg, fresh

Steps

  1. Wash the tomato, bell pepper, and chili. Finely chop the onion, and slice the bell pepper and chili into rings. Place a pot of water on the heat and briefly blanch the tomato (for a few minutes), then remove the skin and dice it. Grate the cheese.

  2. In a large pan, melt the butter and add the onion. Cook over moderate heat until the onion softens and breaks down. Stir in the tomato, tomato paste, bell pepper, and chili. Cook over moderate heat for ten minutes.

  3. Season with salt and pepper, then make four wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into them. Salt the eggs, cover the pan with a lid, and let it cook for five minutes (until the egg whites turn white).

  4. Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the grated cheese over the mixture and eggs. Wait for the cheese to melt, then serve directly from the pan.
