How to Make Eggs Piperade

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
  3. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper, and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained.
  5. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 7 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender.
  6. Uncover and cook for 1 minute, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  7. Gently whisk 6 large eggs in a bowl and pour them evenly over the vegetable mixture.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still slightly moist.
  9. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
  10. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving with roasted potatoes.
