Ingredients

4 eggs
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

1 tsp chili flakes

Method

Sizzle the garlic and chili in olive oil until fragrant, then add the tomatoes, season, and simmer 8 minutes until thickened.
Make wells and crack in the eggs. Cover and cook 5 minutes until whites set but yolks stay runny.
Shower with parmesan and basil.
Serve straight from the pan with charred bread for dragging through the sauce.
