Eggs with Salsa
Pan-fried eggs topped with a warm, chunky tomato, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro salsa.
Instructions

Step 1
Dice the onion and jalapeño. Heat 2 tsp (10 ml) of the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat, then cook the onion and jalapeño until softened.

Step 2
Dice the tomatoes and add them with ⅜ tsp (2 gr) of the salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes form a chunky salsa.

Chop the cilantro. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the cilantro and lime juice, then transfer the salsa to a bowl.

Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tsp (5 ml) vegetable oil. Crack in the eggs, season with the remaining ⅛ tsp (1 gr) salt and the black pepper, and cook uncovered for 1 minute.
