Fried Eggs in Muffins Recipe

Assemble these supplies:

FOR THE SAUCE:

• 1 1/2 tablespoons oil or bacon grease 
• 2 medium-sized tomatoes 
• 1 tablespoon sugar 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 3 English muffins 
•  6 egg yolks 
• 4 egg whites 
• salt
• 4 cups oil 

Steps in preparation:

1. Heat the fat in a skillet Add the tomatoes (that have been peeled, seeds removed, and cut in small pieces), sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes; (the mixture should be rather thick) then force the tomatoes through a sieve. Return to low heat to keep warm.
2. Split each muffin in two. Remove a little of the muffin to make a hole for the egg. Put a yolk in each muffin. Salt lightly. Beat the egg whites until very firm. Place a little of the tomato sauce around each egg yolk. Top with egg whites.
3. Deep fat fry the eggs very rapidly in medium hot oil holding them with a slotted spoon or sieve. Or you may prefer to bake the eggs in a 3500 oven 12 to 15 minutes until the egg whites begin to brown.
