Uova In Purgatorio Eggs In Purgatory Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Rottman / All my dishes 8 months ago I grew up in the Midwest where it's rather common to eat your eggs with tomato catsup. So, for me this Italian recipe was proof that all Midwesterners aren't as mad as my East Coast muchacos would have you believe. Prep:5m Cook:3m Servings:1	Rottman

Ingredients

1/2 cup Tomato Sauce* per person (you need enough to cover the bottom of the pan)

2 eggs per person

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Freshly grated parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano)

Directions

*Use your own homemade tomato sauce, leftover tomato or spaghetti sauce, or bottled prepared spaghetti sauce. Your preference.

In a frying pan (large enough to fit the amount of eggs you want to use), place tomato sauce; bring to a simmer.

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.

Let the eggs flow out. Sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese.

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.

Before serving, sprinkle with additional grated cheese over the top (if desired) and season with salt and pepper.

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.

Just bookmarked this one to try later. Different enough to me to be interesting. It's also easy, and I like that you added some serving suggestions. So for that you get my 5. I'm sure we'll try this. So I'll be back to post the results. Thanks for posting.

Hope you enjoy it. Given your propensity to flavoring, you might try a few red pepper flakes in the sauce ;-)
