Eggs in Purgatory

I had never heard of this dish. When my girlfriend explained it...I thought, "Wow..what a cool name, and a very good combination of flavors.

Essentially, you cook down some onion and garlic in a pan with oil...afterwards, enter a can of tomatoes...let those cook until they break up pretty easily and continue to let them sit on the heat for a bit. I would say maybe after 5-7 minutes, make a well in the tomatoes/tomato sauce and crack an egg in it. Next, let the eggs cook on the heat for 1-2 minutes, and then just move off the heat and let them finish cooking in the very hot tomatoe sauce...

We tried this last night and it was incredible. Had some toasted artisan bread on the side with my own grilled asparagus. Delicious.

    I want to make this so bad...just I'd put more stuff in it...some feta, and sour cream/cream cheese. Need to go to the store...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    You should all try your own rendition and come back and share. :)

    No way, you've got class with the peanut butter toast. Peanut butter is always a wise decision.

    That looks amazing. Will definitely have to give it a go once I'm back on solid foods. For some reason I've been craving tomato-y items: Bruschetta, pasta, etc.
