Idea #5: Sumac and Sage Tomatoes over Egg Toasts
Here’s what you do:
Breakfast toast with Sumac and Sage tomatoes over eggs.
Warm a few glugs of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add a handful or two of cherry or grape tomatoes to the skillet, or crush 1-3 fresh heirloom or plum tomatoes by hand into the skillet. Mash the large tomato pieces with a fork, then stir in a few generous pinches of Sumac and Sage Seasoning. Smash a garlic clove and add it to the skillet, stir things around again, then turn the heat to medium-low and cover.
Toast a piece of bread, then slather it with olive oil or butter. In a second skillet, fry an egg (seasoned with salt and pepper) in more olive oil to your preferred doneness. When the egg is done, use a spatula to lay it on top of the toast. Taste the tomato mixture and stir in another pinch of two of Sumac and Sage Seasoning if needed. Spoon the tomato mixture over the egg, and serve with an extra grind of black pepper and a sprinkle of torn basil and/or parsley leaves on top.
More options:
A spoonful of diced onions would be lovely with this, sauteed in the oil until translucent, before you add the tomatoes to the skillet. Snipped chives or sliced scallions would also be nice on top.
A spoonful of Aleppo pepper or a pinch of hot paprika would add a nice spicy note; you can add them to the tomatoes to taste, before you spoon them over the egg.
You could poach the egg in the tomato mixture instead of frying it in a separate pan! To do this, just break the egg into the tomatoes instead a skillet, then cover until the white is cooked through.
A little Parmigiano-Reggiano would be nice shaved over the top.
If tomatoes aren’t in season, you can use a canned plum tomato, along with its juice, in place of fresh.
