Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in crushed tomatoes and spice blend.

  3. Step 3

    Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Crack eggs directly into the sauce, spacing them evenly. Cover the skillet and cook until whites set and yolks are just set or still slightly soft, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve directly from the skillet.
