1/8 cup pure Spanish olive oil

In a medium-size skillet over low heat, heat the oil until it is
fragrant, then cook the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, stirring,
until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, pimientos, and
sherry, cook until thickened, about 10 minutes, and season with
salt and pepper. Lightly oil 2 ramekins or au gratin dishes and
divide the sauce among them. For each dish, break two eggs into
a saucer, slide them on top of the tomato mixture, and drizzle
with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake in a 350°F preheated oven
until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft, 10 to 12
minutes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley, and serve
immediately from the baking dishes. Serves 2. |
