Ingredients
Instructions
-
Special equipment: 6 small ramekins
-
Heat a 10-inch skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and render the bacon fat over medium-high heat until crisp, about 3 minutes. If there is more than 2 tablespoons of fat in the skillet, discard the excess. Add the garlic and hot pepper flakes and continue to cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season the mixture lightly with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook over medium-high heat and let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the parsley and stir to combine.
-
Lower the heat to medium and taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. Crack each egg into a small ramekin and add them one by one on top of the sauce, cover the skillet with the lid and allow the mixture to cook for 3 minutes (this is if you like your yolk just set, if you like it runny, cook them for less time).
-
Plate the eggs, grate some Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top and serve from the pan with good crusty bread.
