Fried egg with tomato is a quick, rustic dish found in many home kitchens around the world. With sweet, juicy tomatoes and a runny or set egg, it’s perfect for a light breakfast, easy lunch, or late-night comfort food.
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped or sliced

Instructions:
- Sauté Tomatoes:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic (if using) and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and begin to break down. - Add Eggs:
Push the tomatoes slightly to the sides of the pan. Crack the eggs into the center or directly over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. - Cook:
Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are done to your liking. You can cover the pan briefly to help the tops cook through. - Serve:
