Chakchouka
Crushed Pecan French Toast
Apple Pancake
Jet Fuel (Granola)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
1 red bell pepper (or red and green mixed)
2 or 3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
pinch of cayenne
or dash of Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
2 cups undrained, canned, peeled tomatoes (16 ounce can)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large eggs
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions for about 5 minutes. While the onions sauté, slice the bell peppers into strips and mince the garlic. Add the peppers and garlic to the skillet and stir in the cumin, coriander, and cayenne or Tabasco. Continue to sauté for 5 minutes more, until the peppers just begin to soften. While the vegetables and spices cook, drain the tomatoes, reserving the juice. Chop the tomatoes and stir them in with about ½ cup of the reserved juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
When the vegetables are hot and simmering, make four evenly spaced indentions in them and carefully crack one egg into each hollow. Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and gently cook for several minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are soft set.
Serve in a shallow bowls.
¼ cup pecan halves

1 egg
1/3 cup milk
¼ mashed banana
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining drops of batter over the slices.
