Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • crusty bread for serving
  • red pepper flakes for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the bell pepper and onion and cook until soft, about 8 minutes.  Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add the tomato paste and stir until it becomes fragrant, another 30 seconds.  
  2. Add the diced tomatoes and liquid to the skillet.  Season with the salt.  Stir and cook over moderate heat until a thick sauce is formed, 20-30 minutes.  Stir in the hot sauce.  Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  3. Gently crack the eggs over the top of the tomato sauce, being careful not to break the yolks.  Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and cover the skillet.  Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft, about 10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle with cilantro and red pepper flakes and serve with crusty bread.
