Eggs in purgatory

Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, more to taste
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, more to taste
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, more for serving
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste (see NOTE)
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup dry red wine
  • 5 large eggs
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
  • Fresh basil, for serving
  • Crusty Italian bread, for serving

Method

  1. Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper to a medium bowl.
  2. Add the water to the tomato sauce can and swirl to rinse the sauce clinging to the sides. Add to the bowl and stir.
  3. Turn on the Everything Maker and preheat, closed, until the green Ready light turns on, about 3 minutes.
  4. Open the lid, add the oil and garlic to the cooking plate, and cook, stirring often, until garlic is light golden, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the tomato paste, anchovy paste, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste is dark red, about 1 minute.
  6. Add the wine, stir, and cook about 30 seconds.
  7. Add the tomato sauce and gently stir to incorporate into the wine. Close the lid and let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Open the lid and carefully crack the eggs into the sauce. Season the eggs to taste with salt and pepper.
  9. Close the lid and cook until the egg whites are firm, but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
  10. Turn off the unit, open the lid, and top with Parmesan, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  11. Serve family style right out of the Everything Maker, with crusty bread. NOTE: The anchovy paste adds a rich umami flavor rather than a fishy taste; however, you can swap in another teaspoon of tomato paste to go vegetarian.
