Steps
- 1Begin by placing the eggs in a small saucepan and covering them with water. Bring the water to a simmer over high heat. Once the water is simmering, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and allow the eggs to sit for 10 minutes. After that, drain the hot water from the pan and crack the eggshells by shaking it vigorously. Next, cool down the eggs by rinsing them under cold water. Proceed to peel off the shells from each egg before setting them aside for later use.
- 2As the eggs cook, prepare the crushed cherry tomato dressing. Combine cherry tomatoes, sherry vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper in a bowl. Gently crush the cherry tomatoes using a fork to release their juices. Set aside the dressing for later use.
