Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons purchased harissa paste from tube
2 teaspoons purchased hot pepper relish or paste (such as ZerGüt Hot Ajvar or Amore)
1 garlic clove, minced, plus 1 whole garlic clove, peeled
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 1-inch-thick slices brioche or egg bread, lightly toasted
4 large eggs
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, drained, coarsely grated
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, harissa paste, hot pepper relish, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt in small bowl to blend. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and rewhisk before using.)
  • Preheat broiler. Rub toast slices on 1 side with peeled garlic clove, then place 1 toast on each of 4 plates.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Break eggs into skillet; sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggs. Place skillet under broiler and broil just until cheese melts and centers of yolks are still slightly runny, about 2 minutes. Carefully place 1 egg atop each toast slice. Spoon harissa sauce over eggs. Scatter parsley leaves over and serve.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I found that the harissa in this dish wasn't too overwhelming. It added just the right amount of heat.
