Servings: 4
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 oz pancetta, chopped (optional)
2 cups prepared marinara sauce
4 large eggs
6 large fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
4 slices whole-wheat country bread, toasted
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and
pancetta (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and
beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add marinara and adjust heat to maintain
a simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, taking care not to break
the yolk. Make a well in the sauce roughly large enough to hold the
egg and slip it in so that the yolk and most of the white is contained
(some white may spread out). Repeat with the remaining eggs, evenly
spacing them around the pan. Sprinkle the sauce with basil; cover and
cook until the eggs are the desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for
medium-set. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with Parmesan and pepper.
To serve, top each slice of toasted bread with an egg and sauce.
Serve immediately.
