Fried eggs with tomatoes and corn bring together a garlic-flavored vegetable base and eggs cooked in the same skillet. The tomatoes soften first, then the corn adds sweetness and texture. Fresh parsley finishes the dish.
Make four spaces in the vegetables before adding the eggs, and cover the skillet to help the tops cook. Keep the heat gentle enough that the tomato mixture does not catch on the bottom. This recipe serves two, with two eggs per person, and works for breakfast or a simple lunch.

Notes
• Use fresh, frozen, or canned corn. Drain canned corn well, and check fresh or frozen kernels for tenderness before adding the eggs.
• Cook the tomatoes until softened so they form the vegetable base. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Make four spaces in the vegetables and add one egg to each.
• Cover the skillet to help the egg tops cook. Reduce the heat if the mixture catches on the bottom.
• Cook ordinary shell eggs until both whites and yolks are firm. Use pasteurized shell eggs if offering a softer-yolk version.
• Add the parsley after cooking and serve immediately. Toasted bread or pita is an optional accompaniment and is additional to the stated nutrition.
