"This is my new favorite dinner, quick to make, and oh...so good! I use a brand of stewed tomatoes prepared with celery, onion and bell pepper. If you can't find that variety, or make your own, I would advise using Fire-Roasted tomatoes."

I used a regular can of stewed tomatoes and added celery salt and dehydrated onions into the sauce. This is such a great change for us and we all agree this is 5 stars and more. Made a very satisfying and delicious breakfast!

4 ounces of onion = 1 cup, I only used 1/2 cup, green capsicum/bell pepper 2 ounces = 1/3 cup and I used fresh ripe cherry tomatoes quartered and a little stock but when doing again I will either use tinned tomatoes or juice some of the fresh tomatoes to create a juice. Once the eggs were in I covered the pan and cooked for 3 minutes but the egg white were not quite done so left covered for 2 minutes but the yolks had become hard so for me 4 minutes would have been perfect and I think the yolks would have been runny as I like them. Thank you puppitypup, made for Alphabet Tag Game at FF&F.
