Ingredients

• 4 pieces ripe tomatoes
• 4 pieces eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons sweet paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and set aside. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the fresh dill.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and golden.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and sweet paprika, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce.

Step 6

Using the back of a spoon, create four shallow wells in the tomato sauce. Crack one egg into each well.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your preferred doneness (soft or fully cooked yolks).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle the chopped dill over the eggs and, if desired, add extra salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve immediately with crusty bread or boiled potatoes on the side.
