Perhaps a bit more background on this dish?

Here is a basic description.
This is very common on Mediterranean and African cultures with several different names and versions of it. I am Portuguese and we call It “eggs in purgatory”. The version my wife makes is a recipe she picked up while working at America’s Test Kitchen back in Massachusetts.

Your wife worked at America's Test Kitchen? Wow, I am so very impressed. I love that show!

I would bet we could talk for hours about food prep. :emoji_laughing:

Thanks for the information. I am going to give this a closer look see.... :emoji_cat:
 
Never heard of it before, but it looks absolutely fantastic!
Would you mind giving us your version of the recipe, cause I would love to make it.

if the tomatoes mixture is to acidic add a teaspoon + of sugar to your liking
Cook stirring occasionally until thickened about 5 min

Using back of spoon make 5 to 6 wells and crack egg into each well
Bake until eggs reach desired degree of doneness (about 15 min for soft yoke 20 min for hard yoke)

We love having this with a crusty hearty bread
