Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) onion, chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes (no salt added)
  • 4 large eggs
  • Pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion, and bell peppers. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic, black pepper, Italian season, and kosher salt.  Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add tomatoes.  Turn heat to medium, cover, and let cook for 5 minutes.

    Remove lid and create four small holes in the tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each hole, then cover and cook for an additional 6 minutes, until white is firm and yolk is set but still able to be punctured with fork.  (If you prefer a set egg with a firm yolk, cook for 8 minutes.)  Remove from heat and serve with a potato or toasted bread.
