Instructions
 

  1. Prepare all your vegetables, about 4 cups, and set aside. I love the convenience of pre-chopped onion and garlic.
  2. Spray the pan with olive oil on medium heat.
  3. Sauté the leeks and onion until fragrant, then add all the remaining vegetables and ½ cup of water, and cook until soft.
  4. Add tomato sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste
  5. Add the remaining ½ - 1 cup of water and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Crack your eggs on top and sprinkle with your favourite cheese.
  7. Cover the lid and let it poach until the eggs are cooked to your desire. I like mine just turning white, about 2 minutes.
  8. Serve it from the pan with toasted sourdough or pita bread.
