Eggs poached in tomato sauce - yum!


This is so easy, and so good. Just make your tomato sauce -- or pour it from a jar -- in a skillet. When it's steamy hot, carefully break one egg into a small bowl, then place it atop your sauce. Do the same for however many you are feeding. In our case, it was just me and my husband. If you have a larger crowd, use a larger skillet. The sauce doesn't need to be more than a half-inch or an inch thick.

Cover the pan and cook on medium-low until the egg is set. Spoon one egg and some sauce onto pasta or toasted bread -- we did it on pasta.

This was delish!

  1. At the risk of sounding silly, when you say "carefully break one egg into a small bowl, then place it atop your sauce," does that mean place the entire bowl in the sauce? or then drop the egg out of the bowl into the sauce?

    Thanks!
