- 4 large eggs
- Pinch of hot paprika
- 3 ripe medium tomatoes, halved, seeded and coarsely chopped (4 cups)

- Season stew with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- One at a time, crack each egg and drop into a separate quadrant of stew, taking care not to break yolks.
- Cover skillet and cook over medium-low heat until eggs are set, 5 to 7 minutes.
