Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 Italian sausages, casings removed
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 can diced tomatoes, no sugar added
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and add the tomato paste. Stir well to combine. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Using a spoon, make four wells in the tomato and sausage mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the eggs are done to your liking, about 5-10 minutes for soft yolks.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
