How to Make Italian Egg And Tomatoes

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and crushed tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Cook for 2 minutes, then top each egg with a slice of provolone cheese.
  6. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through to your liking and the cheese is melted.
  7. Carefully spoon the tomato and egg mixture into two shallow bowls.
  8. Place two slices of grilled polenta on the outer edge of each bowl.
