We’re proud to partner with egg farmers to create #RecipesThatGive you time so you can enjoy breaking bread with your family and have time for giving back.

Save time (& make a big batch)

Save time and tears: Instead of chopping your onions, pass them through a food processor or mandolin slicer to have your onions ready to go in a heartbeat.

Both the onions and tomatoes can be chopped ahead of time so that when you’re ready to cook, you simply heat the pan, throw everything (except the eggs and broth) in the pan and get cooking. Store them in separate containers, as the onions need a bit more time to cook than the tomatoes.

You can make as big a batch as in big a pan you can find, keeping in mind that each egg needs its own nook to cook in.

If you’re cooking for an army and run out of pan space, you can cook the sauce in one pan and then separate it in two hot pans for the last step (eggs).

 

How to serve this recipe

First, you’ll need bread, and a lot of it. This recipe is eaten by scooping the sauce and eggs with bread. Yes, it gets messy. But there are few greater joys in this world than ripping up some bread, busting egg yolks and digging in.

Traditionally, this would be served family-style: everyone digs in with bread, around the table. Directly from the pan. No forks, knives, spoons or sporks needed.

There’s an etiquette to such events, however —  you cannot simply start busting yolks left and right. You stick to the egg in front of you, and you finish your section before moving on to another area. When you’re ready to attack another egg, you make sure those around you are good with it (and that you have enough bread).

Alternately, however, you can serve this in either a plate or bowl, scooping out the eggs carefully, to not break the yolks.

Serving with bread is a necessity. The type of bread is up to you.
