Eggs in Purgatory (Uova in Purgatorio) is an Italian dish of eggs poached in a spicy, garlicky tomato sauce. They are made in one pan, and take less than 30 minutes, and this version has capers and Calabrian chili paste, finished with fresh oregano and Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread!
Serve this for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner.
The sauce: You’ll begin your stewed eggs with a tomato sauce simmered with extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, Calabrian chili paste, capers, and crushed tomatoes, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Eggs: Eggs are cracked into the tomato sauce and stewed gently until fully cooked, while keeping the yolks runny.
Finishing: Finish with a handful of fresh oregano and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Bread: Serve this with your favorite crusty bread, such as an Italian loaf or sourdough.
