Ingredients
  • 1 fondue Chic! au gin by 1001 Fondues, snack size, 125 g (4 oz.)
  • Olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp.) smoked paprika
  • 5 ml (1 tsp.) ground cumin
  • 1 ml (¼ tsp.) cayenne pepper
  • 398 ml (14 oz) diced tomatoes, canned
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp.) tomato paste
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Greek pitas, 18 cm (7 inches), grilled
  • Chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper
Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
  2. In a large, oven-safe skillet with high sides, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the diced red bell pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring regularly.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Using the back of a spoon, create 4 little wells in the sauce. Crack and place the eggs into the little wells. Cut the cheese fondue into 5 pieces, roughly the same size, and distribute them around the eggs.
  6. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, then transfer to the centre of the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the internal temperature is at least 75 °C (167 °F) and the eggs are cooked to your preference. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with the grilled pitas.

Each bite reveals a delicious blend of Mediterranean flavours enhanced by the exceptional quality of Quebec cheeses! With its vibrant notes, colourful presentation, and healthful profile, this dish delivers an exotic culinary experience that tantalizes the senses and refreshes the palate.
