If you want to make use of the leftovers knocking about in the bottom of the fridge then this is it... Egg Surprise! The surprise I hear you ask? Whatever odds and ends you can find in the fridge, eggs are versatile enough to accommodate most things!

1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
shot of olive oil
½ a small courgette
½ a red pepper
¼ of an aubergine
2 tomatoes
couple of fresh basil leaves
4 fresh eggs

peel and dice the onion, before adding to a deep frying pan to cook over a medium heat with the oil for 2-3 minutes.
cut the courgette, pepper and aubergine into 1cm cubes.
crush the garlic and add to the cooking onions with the other diced vegetables.
fry everything together for 3-4 minutes whilst removing the pulp and seeds from the tomatoes.
dice up the tomato flesh and add to the pan to warm through with the washed and ripped up basil.
crack the eggs into the pan, making sure not to damage the yolks, and leave to gentle cook until the white of the egg is completely set.
serve straight from the pan with fresh crusty bread.
