Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- handful basil leaves
- For the sauce

- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar

Step 1 – First make the sauce. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the pepper and garlic for 5 minutes to soften them.
Step 2 – Spoon in the cider vinegar and allow to sizzle. Tip in the tomatoes, then measure in a third of a can of water. Cover and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the peppers are tender and the sauce is thick.
Step 3 – For the pancakes, beat 1 egg with 1 tsp water and seasoning, then heat a small non-stick frying pan with a tiny amount of oil.
Step 4 – Add the egg mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until set into a thin pancake. Lift onto a plate, cover with foil and repeat with the other eggs. Roll up onto warm plates, spoon over the sauce and scatter with the basil. Serve with bread or a salad on the side. Enjoy!
