step 1

ingredients 4 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

instructions Place a skillet, preferably cast iron, on the grill over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until just smoking.
step 2

ingredients 1 medium onion coarsely chopped
6 cloves garlic thinly sliced
4 jalapeño peppers seeded and cut into 1/4 inch dice
1 teaspoon hot chile flakes

instructions Add the chopped onion, garlic, jalapeños and chile flakes and cook until softened and light brown, about 7 minutes.
step 3

ingredients 3 cup basic tomato sauce
8 large eggs
Salt and pepper

instructions Add the tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Immediately lower the heat to a simmer and carefully crack the eggs one by one into the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until as set as desired. I like it when the whites set but the yolks are still quite runny, about 5-6 minutes.
step 4

ingredients 1/4 grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino
Shredded basil for garnish

instructions Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with cheese and some shredded basil. Allow to cool 3-4 minutes. Garnish with basil and serve.
