Eggs in Purgatory |

We are a little obsessed with breakfast, especially a spicy tomato sauce with eggs cooked in a toasted bread slice & topped with fresh basil. This recipe was adapted from David Ruggerio’s “Little Italy” cookbook. @david.ruggerio

Ingredients:

Sourdough or Italian bread, cut into medium thick slices

Olive oil

Free Range Eggs

11/2 pounds Roma tomatoes

1/2 large Onion, finely diced

2-3 Garlic cloves, minced

Fresh Basil, cut into a chiffonade

Red pepper flakes

Salt & pepper

To make the sauce:

Sauté the onion until translucent & slightly caramelized. Add the garlic & red pepper flakes & sauté briefly, stirring frequently. Add the finely diced roma tomatoes & a pinch of salt. Stir & cover, simmering on medium heat until the sauce starts to break down.

While the sauce cooks, prepare the bread. Heat a large cast iron skillet with about 1/4 cup olive oil & cut the centers out of the bread slices.

A quick and delicious breakfast or brunch option, these scrambled eggs with cheese are creamy and satisfying. The addition of cheese adds a rich and savory flavor to the classic scrambled eggs.

Ingredients: 2 eggs. 2 tablespoons of milk. 1/4 cup of grated cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 tablespoon of butter.

Instructions: Put the milk and cracked eggs in a bowl. Mix them well by beating them together. Put the butter in a nonstick skillet that is on medium-low heat. The egg mixture should be added after the butter has melted. Do not stir for a few seconds. Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs and move them from the edges to the middle. Mix the eggs slowly while adding the grated cheese. Keep doing this until the eggs are fully cooked but still springy. Add pepper and salt to taste. Enjoy while hot!
