Ingredients
- 1 can Canned tomatoes (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 4 slices Bread (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 4 large Eggs (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 2 tablespoons Butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a saucepan, stew the canned tomatoes over medium heat until reduced to about 1 pint. While the tomatoes are stewing, butter the bread slices and toast them until golden brown. Set aside the toast on a serving dish.
- 2Fill a blazer (or a pan) two-thirds full with hot water. Bring the water to a simmer. Crack each egg, one at a time, into a cup. Gently pour the eggs into the simmering water. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Poach the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
- 3Remove the poached eggs with a skimmer and place them on the buttered toast. Pour out the water from the blazer (or pan). Melt the butter in the blazer, browning it slightly if desired. Add the lemon juice and heat to a simmer. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour the butter sauce over the eggs and serve immediately.
