Salsa Romesco on Olive Oil Fried Eggs

Preheat the oven to 350°. Drizzle the tomato halves with a tablespoon of the California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place the tomatoes, cut side down, on a baking sheet, and roast 45 to 60 minutes or until they are soft and the skin has wrinkled and blackened slightly. Allow to cool, and then peel. Place the garlic in a very small, ovenproof skillet, and cover halfway with a portion of California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil. Roast about 20 minutes or until the garlic is soft and malleable. Cool and separate pulp from the skin. Reserve the garlic infused oil and set aside. Place nuts in bowl of food processor and pulse twice. Add ¼ slice of toast to processor and pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste. Add the tomato, pepper, vinegar, roasted garlic, reserved garlic oil, pepper and salt to taste. Pulse motor until mixture is smooth. Add another ¼ cup of California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil slowly and pulse until well blended. Taste and adjust seasonings.
