2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

4 Bibb lettuce leaves
1 large heirloom tomato (about 8 oz.), cut into 4 slices

1. Preheat broiler to high.

3. Place bell peppers, olives, vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and crushed red pepper in a mini food processor; process 30 seconds.

4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into pan; cook 1 1/2 minutes. Cover and cook 1 minute or until whites are just set. Remove from heat.
