sautéed tomatoes with poached egg

I had a ton of tomatoes and was looking for a way to add some protein.  

I ended up sauteing some onion in oil then added a bunch of cut up tomatoes and some herbs and salt.  After it cooked a while and released a lot of juice I cracked an egg on top and put on the lid and let it poach.  Scoop out the egg and some of the tomatoes in a bowl.  Top with a little parm. cheese and break open the yolk.  Mixed in with the  tomato juice makes a really good sauce, well it's more like a stew.

Overall really low cal and the egg adds protein.

Recently I had less tomatoes and summer squash so I also did it with 50/50.  Squash gives up a lot of water too so you still end up with something you can poach an egg on.

That does sound good.  I will try that this week.

this is well known Israeli dish, calls shashuka. It is really very good. You can add some garlic, onions and other vegi of yyour choice

I just made another batch this week.

 I just did a recipe search and you are right.   I might try some paprika like one receipe suggested.  I'm not a huge fan of green peppers so I'll leave those out.

Thanks for posting this information.  I tried the original recipe you posted and it was INCREDIBLE!!  I have to admit that is the first time I really really enjoyed eating an egg since surgery!  This is definately going to become one of my favorite recipes!

Thank you!!  I have had difficulties with eggs since surgery, but this was INCREDIBLE!!  I have had it several times over the last 2 weeks and each time seems better than the one before!  I even drop in a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese - a little extra protein!

Thank you for sharing!
