Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in crushed tomatoes with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it darkens slightly and flavors meld.
Step 4
Create four small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well.
Step 5
Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks still jiggle when you shake the pan.
Step 6
Serve the skillet hot with sliced bread alongside for dipping into the sauce and breaking the runny yolks.
