How to Make Italian Eggs

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Gently pour the beaten egg yolks into the frying pan with the onion and tomato mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs become creamy and set, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to scramble the eggs.
  5. Serve immediately on buttered toast. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
