Yield

Serves: 1

Preparation

For the sauce, to a saucepot over medium heat, add olive oil, onions and garlic. Sweat for 10 minutes, until soft and tender.  Add chili flakes and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, adobo sauce, oregano and basil sprigs, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 1/2 hours stirring frequently. Remove from heat, season with salt to taste.

Lightly poach eggs in simmering water.


In an ovenproof dish, spoon some of the tomato sauce, making a well in the center for the eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and top with some basil, parm and a drizzle of olive oil. Place in oven under the broiler until the sauce is bubbling and the top of the eggs are just set.

Serve with grilled bread alongside.
