Description

Ingredients

• 1 jar Bertolli Tomato & Basil Sauce
• 4 eggs; one egg per serving
• 1 spicy sausage
• parmesan cheese for topping
• Italian bread for dipping
• about ½ cup flat leaf Italian parsley; chopped

Directions

• *Heat a large skillet over medium heat with about a tablespoon of olive oil
• *Remove the sausage from its casing by cutting down the center to break off the casing and the meat inside will come out
• *Place the sausage in the skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula to make small pieces; stir frequently until cooked through
• *Set aside
• If you are using a small cast iron skillet:
• *Place about ¼ cup of the sausage in the skillet with a ½ cup of the Tomato & Basil sauce
• *Place over medium heat
• *Create a well in the center and crack the egg into the well
• *Cover the white parts of the egg with more Tomato & Basil Sauce and cook on medium/low heat for a few minutes or until it starts to set up
• *Sprinkle over as much parmesan cheese as you like; about 1-2 tablespoons is usually good
• *Place the small cast iron skillet under the broiler for about 1 minute (keep your eye on it) so that the cheese melts and it will cook the top part of the egg slightly
• *Cooking times will depend on how well done you like your eggs; this timing will create an egg that still has a runny center
• *Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley
• *Repeat with the other 3 eggs and cast iron skillets
• *Serve immediately with fresh bread!
• ***You can make this the exact same way in a large cast iron skillet by placing all of the ingredients and eggs in to cook at the same time; make sure to have a good amount of space between each egg***
• ***If you want to serve these in single serve ramekins you can simply place the sausage and sauce into the ramekin; make a well for the egg; place the egg into the well; cook under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes; remove and top with cheese; then place under the broiler again for another minute to melt the cheese; top with parsley and serve***
