Method
Dice the courgette into small cubes. Heat the olive oil in a wide, lidded frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the courgette for 5 minutes until lightly golden, then add the tomatoes, crushing them with a spoon, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 8 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Make 3 small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each one.
Cover and cook gently for 4 to 5 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
Tear basil over the pan and serve straight from it, with a slice of toasted bread for the sauce if you like. The sauce is mild, with no chili.
