It's basically eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce/stew consisting of diced tomatos, onions, garlic, bell peppers, jalapenos or other chiles sauteed in olive oil. Very Mediterannean. As I was reading the recipe I thought to myself that, as a breakfast, this dish sounded really, really horrible.
Sounds very similar to one of my favourite Mexican breakfasts, eggs (albeing scrambled, as I don't like poached), tomatoes, onions, jalepenos, peppers etc. ideally with a large dollop of hot green salsa on the side, and the delicious slightly sweet rolls filled with cream cheese!
I also love potatoes at breakfast, home fries type style, so those with eggs, and a little spice work well, be the spice Mexican, Spanish or Indian.
I like good fresh bread with cheeses at breakfast, so European continental works for me too.
My all time favourite breakfast has to be Staffordshire Oatcakes, filled with really strong melty chedder cheese, topped with Heinz baked beans, accompanied by a large glass of OJ.
