Italian Eggs in Purgatory
You know I love a good brunch item. Something that is hearty but takes less than 20 minutes to make. Sign. me. up.
And you also may know that I paid a visit recently to Famoso Neapolitan pizzeria to show 5 things you didn’t know about Neapolitan pizza.
What intrigued me most about this pizzeria is that everything from their dough to their sauces are made the traditional way. They even import their tomatoes from Campania, then hand-mill these tomatoes before they caramelize them to perfection… no wonder I love their sauce.
So what does that have to do with brunch?
Well, when Famoso launched their brand new authentico Pomodoro sauce and partnered with MealShare to do some good in the community, I happily jumped on board to make a delicious recipe using their new sauce. And that, my friends, is where brunch comes in.
One of my favorite tomato dishes to make is “Uova al Purgatorio” or Eggs in Purgatory which is essentially eggs cooked into a spicy tomato sauce. This dish has many variations but one that I love has Italian Sausage, fresh garlic and chili flakes served with lightly toasted sourdough rubbed with garlic.
And since we have an authentic sauce already done, we skip the time to make it ourselves #winning.
