Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ medium, diced yellow onion
  • 1 can (14 oz) canned crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 small loaf, sliced crusty bread

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in crushed tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Create 4 shallow wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well.

  5. 5

    Cover skillet and cook over medium-low until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle, 5–7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve hot from the skillet with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
