Instructions
- Mix 1 teaspoon of Calabrian chili paste with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and set aside.
- In a 12 inch or larger pan saute the garlic in the remaining extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat until golden (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the tomatoes and bring sauce to a simmer (let it cook for about 10 minutes to lose some water). Add in the beans and cook for a few minutes until warm. Stir together, and taste test. Adjust salt to taste.
- Make a bit of a well with a spoon and crack an egg into the spot. Make 6 spots and repeat for all the eggs. Cover with a lid and let the egg solidify (about 7-10 minutes if you like the yolk runny).
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle with the Pecorino Romano and the herbs. Season each egg with a bit of salt and a drizzle of the Calabrian chili oil.
- Serve with crusty Italian bread to mop up all the sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use the freshest preferably free-range eggs you can find.
- Calorie amounts are for 6 eggs in the sauce, but add more if you like. Calories do not include bread for dipping.
- Fresh cherry tomatoes or high-quality canned tomatoes both work well for this recipe.
- Fresh herbs are optional but are nice to have. Use your favorites.
