Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 28 oz
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 4 eggs

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground chicken in olive oil, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Add the onion and cook until soft.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, cumin and paprika and simmer 10 minutes.
  4. Make four wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each.
  5. Cover and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, then serve with bread.

Notes

Cook the eggs low and slow so the yolks stay jammy.
