Ingredients

  • 7 tbsp (105 mL) Extra virgin olive oil (3 tbsp for frying pan, 4 tbsp for tomato mixture)
  • 2 slices country sourdough bread
  • 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced in half
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Zest of Lemon
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan. Toast the sliced sourdough for about 3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden.

  • Step 2

    Grate the tomato and garlic on the fine side of a box grater, discarding the skins. Season the tomato pulp with olive oil, salt, and pepper. While the bread is still warm, rub each slice with a peeled raw garlic clove. Spoon the seasoned tomato over the toast and serve immediately with a fried egg on top.
