Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Chop 1 large onion and add it to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Dice 2 medium bell peppers (any color) and add them to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Slice 2 medium zucchinis and add them to the mixture. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Chop 4 medium tomatoes and add them to the skillet along with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

  6. 6

    Stir well and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.

  7. 7

    While the pisto is simmering, heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if needed.

  8. 8

    Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet and fry them to your desired doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy). This should take about 3-4 minutes.

  9. 9

    Once the pisto is ready, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, topped with a fried egg and garnished with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
