Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat marinara in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until bubbling around the edges.

  2. Step 2

    Crack eggs into the sauce, spacing them evenly; reduce heat to medium.

  3. Step 3

    Cover and simmer until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle slightly, 6–8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Scatter parmesan over the top and let it melt uncovered, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Toast the bread and serve alongside the skillet for dipping into the sauce.
