Ingredients and equipment

Here is what you will need to serve 3 people:

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Small Onion, peeled & diced
• 1 Garlic Clove, peeled & minced
• 1 Red Pepper, deseeded & diced
• 1 Red Chilli, deseeded & diced
• 2 Fresh Bay Leaves
• Salt & Pepper
• 1 x 400g (14 oz) Tin Chopped Tomatoes
• 2 Medium Tomatoes
• 3 Eggs
• 3 Tortilla Wraps, to serve *
• Grated Cheddar Cheese, to serve

*For a gluten free version either serve on it’s own or use gluten free wraps.

Essential equipment

• Large Lidded Frying Pan
• Spatula

Instructions

Once you have prepped all your veg, heat a large frying/sauté pan over a medium heat. Make sure you have a lid for it.

Add the olive oil (2 tbsp) into the pan followed by the onion (1 x peeled and diced), garlic (1 x clove peeled and minced), red pepper (1 x deseeded and diced), red chilli (1 x deseeded and diced) and bay leaves (x 2). Season with a healthy amount of salt and pepper and cook for about 15 minutes until soft and golden.

Add in the chopped tomatoes (1 x 400g | 14 oz) and bring to the boil. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.

Give it a taste, if you think it needs it – add in some more salt and pepper.

Lay the sliced fresh tomato (2 x medium, sliced) over the sauce. Then make 3 wells, drop an egg into each one and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Pop the lid on and cook over a medium heat for about 4-5 minutes or until the eggs are cooked how you like.

Spoon into the tortilla wraps and get it down ya! This is a seriously delicious breakfast and so easy to make. I love that it hardly makes any pots too! Certainly makes a change from that boring bacon and egg cob. Yes, it’s a ‘cob’ where I come from!
