This is a classic Mexican breakfast dish-eggs surrounded by a sweet-tasting mixture of red peppers and tomato- but you can eat it at any time of day. It's great as it is or served with tortillas and guacamole or sliced avocado.

Instructions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large frying pan on a medium heat and, when foaming, add the onions, red pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper and cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the onions and pepper are soft and lightly browned.

Step 2

Stir in the tomatoes and sugar and cook for about 5 minutes or until the liquid has reduced a little.

Step 3

Use a spoon to make 4 wells in the mixture, then break an egg into each of the 4 spaces. Season with salt and pepper, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until just set.

Step 4

Grate over the cheese, replace the lid on the pan for a few seconds, then serve.
