We have breakfast for supper probably once every 2 weeks. My husband and daughter think it’s because they love it so much. The reality is, it’s easy. And fast. And delicious. AND they love it so much.
But tonight was different. We had a day in the neighbouring “big city” and had shopped until we dropped (or until the $$$ ran out) and the last thing I wanted to do when we walked through the door was make a big elaborate dinner. I had planned on making a simple stir fry. It’s another one of my go-to’s when I can’t think of anything else to make but I really didn’t want stir fry so eggs it was.
But we had no bread for toast, so eggs on toast was out. As was French toast. I dislike pancakes (unless we’re talking Pumpkin Spice pancakes then I’m a happy camper!). We had no bacon (we NEVER have bacon). What the heck was I going to make with eggs?? Then it occurred to me that I have never made eggs baked in tomato sauce for Rex.
What?!?!?
We’ve been together almost 6 years and I haven’t made it for him. What the heck? Seriously?
This HAS to be remedied.
I don’t know why it’s been so long since I’ve made it. It’s freaking delicious!
I started by heating up some olive oil in one of my cast iron enamel pans and cooked up about 3 garlic cloves, then added a can of diced tomatoes, a can of whole tomatoes, some basil, and some salt and pepper. Seriously, that’s it. I cooked all of that down for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes broke down and the sauce started to thicken then I sprinkled in some parmesan cheese and gently cracked eggs into the sauce and put it into a preheated 450 degree oven for 13 minutes.
While it was in the oven I cut up a beautiful rustic crusty loaf of bread and set it all out on the table. I have taken to just serving it in the dish I cook it in (less dishes and I love the rustic-ness it adds to the meal), and I gotta say, it just looks so beautiful!
We’ve been trying hard not to spend so much money on groceries, and this supper is a cheap one! Canned tomatoes are on sale at the moment for $1 each and I paid $3.99 for the loaf of bread. 
My 8 year old LOVED it (she says I’ve never made it for her, either. Damn, I have been slacking…), my husband was a happy man, and all 3 of us ended up with clean plates!
The sauce is amazing, and demands a hearty rustic crusty bread to soak it all up! I always top mine with a drizzle of olive oil, my husband topped his with Parmesan cheese, and our daughter ate it as is. It’s delicious any way you choose to eat it!
And the leftover sauce?
That’s tomorrow’s spaghetti sauce!
Bam!
You’re welcome tomorrow-Kelly, you’re welcome!
