180ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons purchased harissa paste from tube
2 teaspoons purchased hot pepper relish or paste (such as ZerGüt Hot Ajvar or Amore)
1 garlic clove, minced, plus 1 whole garlic clove, peeled
1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

How to make Olive Oil Fried Eggs with Mozzarella and Harissa
Whisk 120ml olive oil, harissa paste, hot pepper relish, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt in small bowl to blend. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and rewhisk before using.)
Preheat grill. Rub toast slices on 1 side with peeled garlic clove, then place 1 toast on each of 4 plates.
Heat remaining 60ml olive oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Break eggs into skillet; sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggs. Place skillet under grill and grill just until cheese melts and centres of yolks are still slightly runny, about 2 minutes. Carefully place 1 egg atop each toast slice. Spoon harissa sauce over eggs. Scatter parsley leaves over and serve.
