    I'm a line cook at a high end restaurant and my chef let me be in charge of the chef special today and I somewhat made this recipe, however I used quail eggs (which we had a lot we neeeded to get rid of) and heirloom tomato scraps. A good amount of people ordered it and everyone loved it and people even wanted it as a permanent menu item!

      i know its dumb, but i always judge people who crack their egg into a ramekin first. Maybe its because i grew up on a small farm with a ton of chickens, but i've been able to crack an egg without breaking the yolk or getting shell in the egg since i was about 10. The ramekin trick was something i did as a little kid. I break the yolk or get shell in there maybe less than 1/20 times.

  • @vaylonkenadell

    I made this today! I didn't have San Marzano tomatoes, but I did have a can of Hunt's fire-roasted tomatoes, so I used that instead. I also maybe burned the onions and mushrooms just a hair, and I also overcooked the eggs. I wanted medium, but they came out more like medium-well. All that being said, I think this still turned out to be an amazing and flavorful dish that I'd definitely make again!

    I actually made this a couple days ago for my family and I and it turned out awesome. The mushrooms were a great addition and added some savory juicy flavor to the whole dish so I'd recommend anyone to add mushrooms as well. I also added a cubed gold Yukon potato in the beginning of the saute with the onions and mushrooms. They're less starchy than brown potatoes so they kept their shape and were nicely done once the whole affair was finished. They definitely add some hearty elements to this otherwise primarily acidic dish, not traditional and more of a personal preference but it was a nice addition overall. Just make sure to saute them in the very beginning with the onions and mushrooms otherwise they'll be under-cooked. I also baked slices of french loaf with garlic butter to act as our toast, not very traditional whatsoever but I couldn't argue with the results. Only thing I'd say is if you want a spicier result, keep the seeds in your jalapeno (I didn't and really wish I did) and maybe even add some chili flakes to your saute'd veggies if you're feeling frisky. Easily one of the most flavorful things I've ever made, 10/10 would make again.

    I used two birds eye chillis (we love spice) and used a middle eastern spice mix because I ran out of cumin. I was worried it would be too spicy (for my boyfriend. I'm Indian so I'm immune) but it was perfect and not very spicy at all! The mushrooms are genius, they fit right in. The whole pot disappeared in minutes. Thank you!
