Eggs in Purgatory

Today we are sharing Valentine’s Day Recipes for Two. I wanted to try something that I have never made before and what came to mind was Eggs in Purgatory. This is a sexy, shareable meal, made just for two.

You can share this for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, making it perfect for Valentine’s Day!! You can make it a spicy as you want.

I shared this with my daughter so I stuck with the recipe but you can also add sliced jalapenos to kick it up a notch!!!

Sprinkled with a little parsley and capers!! Now diving right in!! I love a runny egg and toast as a dipper. Sharing this dish with the one you love will have everyone happy!

Here it is fresh and hot from the oven before the toppings are on!

I love that there is a little heat to this dish, you can amp it up even more with some hot sauce if you and your loved ones like it spicy!! Happy Valentine’s Day, ENJOY!!!

1. Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil in a small saucepan until the onion is translucent. Add the red pepper flakes, Italian herb paste, salt, and pepper, and saute for one minute.
