Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. *Use your own homemade tomato sauce, leftover tomato or spaghetti sauce, or bottled prepared spaghetti sauce. Your preference.
  2. In a frying pan (large enough to fit the amount of eggs you want to use), place tomato sauce; bring to a simmer.
  3. Make a small depression in the sauce with a spoon where you plan to lay the eggs, Then, one at a time, break each egg and slip it into the simmering sauce.
  4. Let the eggs flow out. Sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese.
  5. Immediately cover with a lid and turn heat on low. Set a timer for exactly three minutes for medium-firm yolks. Adjust the time up or down for runnier or firmer yolks. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, depending on firmness desired. Lift each perfectly poached egg from the tomato sauce with a slotted spoon or spatula.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle with additional grated cheese over the top (if desired) and season with salt and pepper.
  7. How to serve: These delicious eggs may be served as cooked, or over thickly-cut crusty bread, cooked pasta, cooked polenta, and/or mashed potatoes.
