Ingredients
 

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 1 tsp. garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp. Italian herb paste or dried herbs
  • 1 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 398 ml. can diced tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan
  • 2 Tbsp. parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp. capers

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir to combine and cook for 1 min. longer. Add the diced tomatoes and bring up to a simmer and cook for 15-20 min. or until desired thickness. Adjust seasoning.
  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Remove sauce to a small crock or large ramekin type dish. Alternatively, you can cook the sauce in a cast iron pan on the stove and finish cooking your eggs in there.
  • Make two holes in the sauce to add your eggs into. Crack the eggs carefully.
  • Top with the Parmesan cheese and place in the oven with a lid or foil for 10 min. Cook uncovered for 5 min. or until the eggs are cooked to the desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley and capers. Serve with toast.
