POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes and olives and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally while breaking up the tomatoes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Make eight shallow wells in the sauce. Working with 1 egg at a time, crack into a small bowl, and then gently pour into a well. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes.
• Garnish with sprigs of fresh time, if using, and serve with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.

POACHED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Fill a large, shallow, straight-sided pan with 2 inches water. Bring to a boil. Break each egg into a small ramekin.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tomatoes; cook, stirring, until they start to break down, about 5 minutes. Add the salt; season with pepper. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add the spinach and garlic to the skillet; cook, stirring, until the spinach has just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard the garlic.
• When the water is boiling, add the vinegar; turn off heat. Using tongs, tilt the ramekins in the pan, and slide the eggs into the water. Cover; let stand until the whites are opaque and the yolks are cooked as desired, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to put the eggs on paper towels to drain. Trim the whites, if desired.
• Divide the spinach among 4 plates; lay 1 poached egg and 8 tomato halves on top. Season with pepper; sprinkle each serving with 3/4 teaspoon chives.
• Notes
• Partially cooked eggs should not be prepared for pregnant women, babies, young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.
