uova con pomodoro

I know my mom used to make this for my cousin Carlo when he was a little kid and they would share and egg each while he was sitting on her lap but I never really had this till recently- and it's one of my FAVORITE dishes. It only takes about 10 minues start to finish. Drizzle a touch of olive oil in a skillet and while thats warming on low heat dice 2-3 tomatoes, throw them in and then immediately crack an egg or two. Sprinkle with salt, crack some black pepper and cover. At the same time I'll usually toast some bread and by the time the eggs are cooked the tomatoes are perfectly sautéed but not overcooked. I then like to add a generous handful of loosley chopped fresh parsley move it to the table and right out of the pan, dip your bread in the eggs and enjoy. This makes a great breakfast or even lunch, its fast and a cinch to clean up after.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
