Ingredients

vegetable oil 2 tbsp
garlic 1 clove, crushed
onion ½, finely chopped
plum tomatoes 6, deseeded and chopped
tomato purée 2 tsp
eggs 6
salted butter 25g, softened
chives ½ a small pack, finely chopped

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a lidded non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add the garlic and cook for a minute until just starting to turn golden. Tip in the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add the tomatoes and purée.
Step 2

Cook for 5 minutes until all of the moisture has evaporated from the tomatoes. Turn the heat to low and break the eggs into a bowl, then add to the pan. Gently whisk and break the yolks, then put on the lid for a minute. Remove, then stir and mix, then put the lid back on. Continue to do this until the eggs are almost set.
Step 3

Spoon into a serving dish then add the salted butter and a sprinkling of chives. Serve with flatbreads.
