Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.
Method
- Warm the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
- Stir in the diced tomato and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Season with the allspice, black pepper and a little salt.
- Crack in the eggs and stir well for 2 minutes.
- Cover the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the top has set.
- Spoon the liquid cheese over the surface, cover again and leave for a minute before serving.
