Jammy Tomato Toast with Eggs and Avocado
This recipe was inspired by the popular Middle Eastern dish shakshuka — an aromatic tomato and pepper sauce that's topped with eggs for a satisfying meal any time of the day. Here, a similar sauce is simmered with sweet honey until jammy and then chilled for a different kind of spread on your morning toast. Each serving is topped off with a fried egg and sliced avocado for a quick and filling breakfast that aligns with the Mediterranean diet.
