Ingredients

🫒 1/4 cup olive oil
🧅 1 small onion, chopped

🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
⚫ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🥚 4 eggs

Instructions

1- Heat the Oil:

Place a skillet on high heat and add the olive oil.
Allow the oil to heat up until it is shimmering.

2- Sauté Aromatics:

Add the chopped onion and sliced jalapeño to the skillet.
Sauté them for a few minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the jalapeño releases its aroma.

3- Cook Tomatoes:

Add the cherry tomatoes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Cover with a lid and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

4- Smash and Simmer:

Gently smash the tomatoes with the back of a spoon or spatula to release more of their juices.

5- Add Eggs:

Crack the eggs on top of the tomato mixture.
Sprinkle a bit of salt over the eggs.
Cover the skillet again and continue cooking until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

6- Garnish and Serve:

Once the eggs are ready, remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with warm pita bread for dipping.
