Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 slices crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the sauce, evenly spaced.
Crack an egg into each well, careful not to break the yolks.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the eggs with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Serve immediately, either on its own or with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
