INGREDIENTS:
For the topping:
- 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes about 2 tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar
For the toast:
- PAM Olive Oil Spray Pump
- 2 slices rustic country style bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a medium bowl toss together the tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper flakes and vinegar.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Spray the pan with 9 pumps of PAM Olive Oil Spray Pump. Using a shot glass or a cookie cutter, cut a 2 1/2 inch hole in the center of both slices of bread. Place the bread slices in the pan and slide 1 egg into each hole. Place the round pieces of bread alongside the slices to toast. Season each egg with a pinch of salt and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan on top of each egg and spray the Parmesan with 2 pumps of PAM. Divide the remaining tablespoon of Parmesan on both rounds of bread. Using a slotted spatula, flip the slices with the eggs and the rounds with cheese and cook an additional 2 minutes cheese side down or until the yolk is still soft but the whites are set. Place the egg slices crispy Parmesan side up on 2 plates. Divide the tomato mixture over the tops and serve with the Parmesan toast rounds.

This would make an excellent Brunch dish too. I cut the recipe in half since it's just me and I just had this for my breakfast this morning. I didn't have oil spray, but a very light drizzle of olive oil did the trick. I used heirloom cherry tomatoes and fresh basil from my garden, along with the last of a homemade bread loaf. Comes together quickly and the flavors are perfect. The pop of acid from the vinegar in the morning is just the thing to wake you and your taste buds up and the hum of heat from the pepper flakes gives feel-good vibes for most of the morning (I like spice so I might have been a little heavy handed). Definitely adding to my breakfast rotation.
