Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs 1/2 cup fresh chimichurri sauce (recipe follows) 4 slices whole grain bread 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Salt and pepper, to taste Fresh parsley, for garnish Fresh Chimichurri Sauce: 1 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped 1/4 cup olive oil 3 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Salt and pepper, to taste
