Don't let the fancy name fool you – this is basically eggs poached in a super flavorful tomato sauce, and it's perfect for breakfast-for-dinner nights! Sauté onions and peppers, add garlic and your favorite marinara sauce, make little wells in the sauce, and crack in some eggs. Cover and simmer until the eggs are set to your liking. The trickiest part is getting the egg timing right, but even if they're a bit over or under, it'll still taste great!
