Eggs Pizzaiola
Description
Eggs Pizzaiola combines a rich tomato sauce with perfectly cooked eggs. Starting with sautéed garlic in olive oil, the sauce is seasoned with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, then enriched by chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Fresh herbs—parsley and torn basil leaves—add brightness. Eggs are cracked directly into the simmering sauce and sprinkled with a mix of Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheese. Covered and cooked gently, the eggs set with tender whites and runny or firm yolks depending on preference. The final touch of more cheese and olive oil enhances the savory, tangy profile of the sauce.
The texture juxtaposes soft eggs with a hearty, saucy base that carries mild heat and fresh herbal notes. It can be served alongside crusty bread to mop up the sauce, offering a filling meal component. This dish works well for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.

- Gently drop in the eggs keeping the yolks in tact, top with 2 tbsp of the Parmigiano Reggiano and 1 tbsp of the Pecorino Romano.
