Warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chile peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then cook the bell peppers and tomatoes until the peppers are soft and the tomatoes start to break down, about 5 more minutes. Combine the tomato–bell pepper mixture with the hot peppers. Stir in the mashed garlic and caraway seeds. Spoon the vegetables onto plates or a serving platter.

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes for runny yolks or 4 to 5 minutes for fully set yolks. Place the fried eggs on top of the vegetable mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
