Tomato Egg Salad with a kick of chilli and freshness of basil! A great salad to serve on toast or bruschetta! Get the recipe at nutritionistmeetschef.comEach year I try to make the Chef a special breakfast for his birthday, and I like to do something I’ve never done before. This year though, we’d just come back from a holiday and I hadn’t had time to plan what to make, so I had to use my imagination and use what I could find in the fridge, which was a few veggies, eggs and herbs we grow on the balcony. So I whipped up this amazing tomato egg salad which I served on bruschetta for his birthday brunch!

This tomato egg salad has a kick of chilli (the chef loves his chilli!) and garlic, and a handful of fresh basil. The eggs are best when they’re semi-soft boiled, with a firm egg white and a slightly runny egg yolk, so the egg yolk together with olive oil work as a dressing and bind all flavours together!

Tomato Egg Salad

A delicious tomato egg salad with a kick of chilli and garlic! Serve on a piece of sourdough bread and enjoy! 
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tomato
  • handful of basil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • dried chilli flakes
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (about 0.5 tbsp)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • optional: sunflower sprouts

Instructions

  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat so the water is gently simmering. Carefully place the eggs in the water with the help of a spoon. (I usually cook my eggs for 6 minutes and I usually buy medium eggs)
  • Whilst the eggs are cooking, dice your tomatoes, finely chop the garlic and roughly chop the basil. Place all in a bowl and set a side. 
  • Once the eggs are done, rinse under cold water for a few minutes so they've cooled down enough to be handled. 
  • Peel the eggs and dice them. Mix with the other ingredients. Add a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Serve on toast!

Notes

  1. Gluten free: Use GF bread.
