My father being of Sicilian background is a great but simple cook and as I was growing up he always used to cook Sicilian Fried Eggs for breakfast.
It is such an easy but beautifully tasty spin on fried eggs, it always reminds me of him and the simplicity of the Sicilian cooking, this is his recipe and I always love it especially on those hungry Sunday mornings.
- 4 slices of crusty Italian bread toasted
- Olive oil
- 8 free range or organic eggs (my mum usually bring me her organic eggs so I can only recommend starting the day with the best and freshest eggs you can buy)
- 8 thin slices of pecorino pepato cheese (this is a hard sheep's milk cheese studded with peppercorns you will need just enough to cover the eggs)
