About Poached egg in tomato sauce

Poached Egg in Tomato Sauce is a comforting dish with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern roots, known for its simplicity and robust flavors. This recipe features eggs gently poached in a seasoned tomato-based sauce made with onions, garlic, olive oil, and spices like paprika or cumin. Rich in protein from the eggs and packed with vitamins A and C from the tomatoes, this dish highlights a healthy balance of nutrients while maintaining low carbohydrate content. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, and the addition of herbs like parsley or cilantro boosts its antioxidant profile. While flavorful and nutritious, the dish's overall healthiness depends on preparation method—excessive oil or added sugars in the sauce may increase calorie count. Often enjoyed with crusty bread, this versatile meal works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and is cherished for its bold taste and nourishing qualities.
