Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in crushed tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3
Simmer sauce uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and flavors meld.

Create 4 shallow wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well.
