Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a flat pan over medium heat.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of finely minced garlic and 1 large chopped onion; cook until the onions are browned.

Add 1 large tomato cut into small pieces; cook for 5 minutes on high heat without peeling the tomatoes.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

After 5 minutes, crack an egg into the pan, moving the tomatoes slowly so the egg whites can cook at the bottom.

Cover the pan and cook the egg for about 1 minute on medium-low heat.

Uncover the pan and sprinkle a bit of salt and fresh ground pepper on top; add cilantro before serving.
