Category: Main Dish

Cuisine: American

Ready in 30 minutes

Ingredients

Chopped fresh parsley

6 To 8 Eggs (I used 7)

3/4 c Shredded Jack cheese (3 oz.)

salt and pepper to taste

3 To 4 large tomatoes; peeled

1 Or 2 sprinkles fresh thyme*

3 tb Butter or olive oil

1 lb Mushrooms; thinly sliced


Directions

*My addition. Cut tomatoes in cubes; drain in colander for several minutes. Meanwhile, in 10 or 11" frying pan over high heat (I used 10" pan), melt margarine. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they are soft and juices have evaporated. Add tomatoes; stir to heat through. With spoon, make 6 to 8 nest spaces; break an egg into each space. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; cover evenly with cheese. Cover pan; cook on low heat until eggs are set as you like (took 20 to 30 minutes). Garnish with parsley and thyme. Would be good served with fruit and toast. Yield: 3 to 4 servings. From _Sunset Italian Cook Book_ by the editors of Sunset Books and Sunset Magazine. Menlo Park, CA: Lane Publishing Co., 1981. 2nd ed. (Editor, Sunset Books: Elizabeth L. Hogan). Pp. 51-52. Tried 10/18/90. Posted by Cathy Harned.
