Eggs in Purgatory with Salami

I think this has been one of my top 3 fave dinners I have made. Amazing. I found it in my Food Network magazine and made it immediately. This recipe is dirt cheap to make and super easy for a crowd. It is healthful and could easily be made for 1 person. This is my take on this yummy recipe.


Eggs in Purgatory with Salami
Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed but kept in 1 piece
• 4 ounces deli-sliced salami
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup tomato puree (I used tomato sauce from a can)
• 1/4 cup parsley leaves
• 2 eggs per person
• grated parmesan cheese
• small baguette to make the crusty bread (directions to follow)

1. Prep your ingredients: chop the parsley, slice the salami, onion, and peppers.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and toss out. 

3. To the skillet, add the salami, onion, peppers, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the salami starts to brown, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water and cook until the veggies are tender, about 5 more minutes.

5. Reduce the heat to medium. Scatter the chopped parsley into the mixture. Make indentations with the back of a spoon for the eggs. Break your eggs, one or two at a time, into a small bowl. You want to put them into a bowl first to make sure they are still good! Pour the eggs into the indentations. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle with the cheese. Cover and cook until the whites are set.

6. While the eggs are cooking, take the bread, slice enough for a few slices per person and drizzle with olive oil. Bake on 400 for a few minutes. Keep a close eye because bread like this can burn easily!

7. You're ready to go when the eggs look like this:

Enjoy!
