Eggs in Purgatory

Ingredients

• 4 jumbo eggs
• 8 large plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lightly toasted crusty bread

Instructions

1. 1
   Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof skillet,and simmer the chopped tomatoes for about 20 minutes over a gentle flame with the garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. 2
   While the tomatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 360°F. Using the back of a spoon, make 4 shallow depressions in the tomatoes, and carefully crack the eggs into them.

   Transfer the skillet to the oven, and cook just until the egg whites have set, about 3-5 minutes. The yolks should still be runny. Serve at once, with lightly toasted bread.
