Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
5 large fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 eggs
4 pita bread rounds

Directions

Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the coarsely chopped tomatoes and minced garlic, stirring occasionally until the tomato liquid has reduced. Carefully crack the eggs over the tomatoes without breaking the yolks. Lightly season with salt, then reduce the heat and cover the skillet.
Step 2
Simmer covered for 20 minutes, or until the egg yolks are fully cooked. Adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. Serve with warm pita bread.
