I remember a while ago reading in this group something about a dish
called eggs in purgatory and I think that the eggs were simmered in a
tomato/marinara type of sauce.
I decided to make my own concoction of eggs poached in a spicy tomato
sauce. It turned out so good that the eggs went straight from
purgatory, directly into heaven.

I used a can of whole tomatoes.

Now here's the fun part. Squish the tomatoes with your hand. Be sure
and check for tomato splatters around your work area.
See the juice squirting out of the tomato? so much fun. ;-)

Heat some olive oil in the skillet while you are chopping up a few
cloves of garlic. Add garlic to hot olive oil in the pan.

After a few minutes add the smushed tomatoes and keep at a high simmer
to thicken the sauce.

While that's going on gather your spices/herbs.
I used basil and oregano.

Stack the basil leaves on top of each other.

Make a cigar of the basil leaves,

Then chiffonade. I gave the oregano a rough chop and added some dried
I have also.

When the sauce has thickened add some red pepper flakes and the herbs.

I've never done this before so I just added the eggs to the sauce to
poach in the sauce.
http://i39.tinypic.com/2956zkp.jpg

Here the eggs are simmering away. I put a lid on but kept a close eye
on them so they wouldn't overcook.
http://i40.tinypic.com/e5kbar.jpg

The yolks are still runny, just how I like them.
Not a pretty presentation but it was fantabulous. I served them with
some potatoes and mild Italian sausage.

Oh yes, but a totally different sauce.

I went over to a.b.f. to check the pics. :-) Easier than copy/pasting
the links...

Fun stuff! I presume those are herbs from the aerogarden?

I like this idea! Italian eggs.

Good pics too, especially the one with the squirting tomato juice. <lol>

Now that is funny - (coincidence) Sunday morning I was doing bacon and egg
breakfast for some company who had spent the night. Great until I looked
and there wasn't a spud in the house - OK so no hash browns.

Made a quick coffee cake with apples in the topping - fried the bacon and
put it into the oven on a rack.

Eggs -

Drained the electric skillet of the bacon fat - poured in 1/2 jar of Pace
medium salsa, smeared all over the bottom, added 10 eggs, covered and
turned up the heat. - Grated some pepper jack and cheddar. When the eggs
were done - (Steamed on the top) I added the cheese and reduced the heat.

Warmed tortillas and served the "salsa fried eggs" on a warm tortilla with
a few slices of crisp bacon and a wedge of coffee cake.

It must be the time of the year......

Dang, this sounds even better. I know what I'll be making soon. I'll
bet it would be great in my homemade enchilada sauce chilaquile style.
mmmmm. Now you really got me to thinking.

I'm really liking your culinary photonovellas, koko.

I did something like this once using a tomato-based salsa after
reading somebody here on the topic. (I think it Was Michel Boucher.)
