Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 large eggs
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Make 8 small wells in the tomato sauce using the back of a spoon, then carefully crack one egg into each well.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  6. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil, and serve immediately with whole grain toast if desired.
