Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a heavy duty skillet and warm over medium heat. Add the pepper flakes, garlic, and onion. Stir for 2 -3 minutes being careful not to let the garlic brown. Add the tomatoes and stir in the Tuscan seasoning and salt.
• Let the tomatoes with sauce come to a simmer. It has to be hot enough to poach the eggs.
• Crack the eggs and let them slide into the juice. Sprinkle some Parmesan over the eggs, leaving some of the yolk still exposed. Partially cover with lid. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. The white should be set and the yolk still runny. It goes fast so keep an eye on it.
• Remove from the heat, sprinkle with basil leaves, green onions or both. Serve with a little more Parmesan and some bread to dunk in.

EGGS IN PURGATORY WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir the bread into the sausage mixture and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the marinara sauce and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium (or move the skillet to a cooler part of the campfire). Stir in the provolone, 2 tablespoons Parmesan and 1/4 cup basil.
• Use the back of a spoon to make 4 shallow wells in the tomato mixture; carefully crack 1 egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 9 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and 1/4 cup basil. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, anchovies and red-pepper flakes and cook just until the garlic turns golden brown at the edges, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil sprig, and turn the heat to medium-low.
• Simmer, squashing tomato pieces with a wooden spoon or a potato masher, until the tomatoes break down and thicken into a sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, butter, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste.
• Using the back of a spoon, make 6 divots into the tomato sauce, then crack an egg into each divot. Cover the pan and let cook until the eggs are set to taste, about 2 to 3 minutes for runny yolks. (If the pan is not covered, the eggs won't cook through, so don't skip that step.)
• While the eggs are cooking, toast bread in a toaster or under the broiler. Rub warm toast with the cut garlic clove, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt.
• To serve, sprinkle eggs with more Parmesan and chopped herbs, then spoon onto plates or into shallow bowls. Serve with garlic toast and pass pepper flakes at the table.

ZUCCHINI NOODLE EGG NESTS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to turn translucent and brown at the edges, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and basil. Season with the crushed red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce to low and cook until the tomatoes are reduced slightly and the flavors are combined, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini noodles in little nests in each cup, making sure there is an indention in the center for the egg. Sprinkle each nest with 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of sauce into each nest. Make an indentation in the middle of the sauce with your spoon for the egg. Crack an egg into each nest. Sprinkle the eggs with the 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining Parmesan.
• Bake until the eggs are mostly set but still a little jiggly, 15 to 20 minutes. Gently remove the nests using an offset spatula or butter knife; they should slide right out of their cups. Serve hot with the remaining sauce and a sprinkle of torn fresh basil.
