Eggs In Purgatory
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the canned tomatoes, basil sprigs, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until slightly thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.

  3. Decrease the heat to medium-low. Using the back of a spoon, make 6 divots in the tomato mixture, spacing evenly apart. Crack an egg into a small bowl and carefully place one into each divot. Season the eggs with additional salt and pepper.

  4. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 6 minutes. Uncover and remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and garnish with additional basil. Serve immediately with good, crusty bread.
