I love these Poached Eggs in Italian Tomato Sauce because they are full of flavor and take just minutes to put together in the morning.
First, you prepare a quick sauce of diced tomatoes, garlic and herbs in a skillet. The you carefully place a few whole eggs into the sauce, and poach them. You add a few sprinkels of tangy grated Parmesan cheese at the end and, presto!, you have a scrumptious breakfast ready to serve.
You can change up the sauce ingredients to your liking. Sometimes I add in sun-dried tomatoes. Another idea came from a fellow in one of my cooking classes, who suggested making the tomato sauce with Mexican seasonings – using green chiles, cumin and cilantro. I thought that was a great idea!
