Poached Eggs in Italian Tomato Sauce are full of flavor and take just minutes to put together in the morning. Eggs are poached in a sweet and slightly spicy mixture of diced tomatoes flavored with basil, oregano, garlic, parsley, rosemary and red pepper flakes. Starting with canned Italian tomatoes makes this a quick and easy breakfast that’s also impressive.
