Mediterranean-Style Poached Eggs
Randy Mayor; Fonda Shaia
Eggs gently cook atop a savory mixture of onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts in this version of pipérade. Served over toasted bread, it makes a filling one-dish meal.
How to Make It
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add cumin and paprika; sauté 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; stir in tomatoes, black pepper, and artichokes. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Form 4 (3-inch) indentations in vegetable mixture using the back of a spoon or bottom of a large custard cup. Break 1 egg into each indentation. Cover and cook 8 minutes or until eggs are done. Sprinkle with parsley, olives, and cheese. Serve over bread.

This is a very easy dish. Make the sauce ahead of time and poach the eggs just before serving. I served on puff pastry shells sprinkled with a lot of parmesan and pepper before baking. The shells can also be made a day ahead. Very tasty, just remember to salt and pepper to taste and use a good aged parmesan to spinkle on the top. Perfect for brunch.
