Method

6 steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  2. In a blender, process the tomatoes, garlic, hot pepper, salt, sugar, and water until smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove solid particles.

  3. Heat most of the oil in a skillet, pour in the tomato sauce, add the cilantro, and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until thickened. Adjust salt and sugar to taste, then reduce the heat.

  4. Brush the baguette slices with oil, season with salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until crispy.

  5. In a deep skillet, bring water with vinegar to a gentle simmer. Carefully drop the eggs into the water and cook for 4-5 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.

  6. Place the eggs on plates, pour over the tomato sauce, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve with the toasted baguette.
