Ingredients

  • 6 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2x400g canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat and saute the garlic in olive oil. To prevent it from browning and cooking too quickly, add 3 tablespoons of water. When the water has evaporated, add the diced tomatoes, chilli flakes and 1/2 cup of water. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, then stir through the oregano and season to taste.
  2. Using a spoon, make 6 wells in the tomato sauce and crack the eggs into each one. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminium foil and cook for 8-10 minutes on low or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
  3. Garnish with oregano to serve.
