Eggs in Purgatory

 

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1 (15-ounce) can organic crushed tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cups leftover Bloody Mary mix
• Sea Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
• 4 organic, cage-free eggs

 

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, reserved Bloody Mary mix and season with salt and crushed red pepper. Let simmer 5 minutes and then add the basil.

Crack the 4 eggs into the tomato sauce, and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Transfer some of the sauce into 2 shallow serving bowls. Add 2 eggs to each bowl and serve with a side of your favorite meat.

Remember to use organic ingredients!
