Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 6 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Add 1 lb ground beef, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove the beef mixture to a plate. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Crack 4 eggs into the skillet. Cook until whites are set and edges are crispy, about 3 minutes for runny yolks.

  6. 6

    Return the beef to the skillet, nestling the eggs on top. Cook for 1 minute to warm through.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
