🍽️ Recipe Details
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2 people
🛒 Ingredients
4 very fresh eggs
4 slices of scamorza cheese (smoked or mild)
400 g (about 14 oz) canned peeled tomatoes
1 garlic clove
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Fine salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
🧑‍🍳 Making the Sauce
In a non-stick pan, add the extra virgin olive oil and the garlic clove.
Sauté the garlic over medium-low heat until it turns golden.
Add the peeled tomatoes.
Crush them roughly with a fork directly in the pan to break them up.

Cooking & Seasoning the Sauce

Season the sauce with a generous pinch of salt, a sprinkle of black pepper, and the dried oregano.
Stir well, lower the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it cook for about 15–20 minutes.
The sauce should reduce and become rich in flavor.

Adding the Eggs and Scamorza

Once the sauce is ready and thick, crack the eggs one at a time and gently slide them into the sauce.
Lightly salt the egg whites.
Place one slice of scamorza on top of each egg.

Finishing the Dish

Cover the pan again with the lid and cook over very low heat for about 7–8 minutes.
The dish is ready when the egg whites are fully set and the scamorza has melted, forming a delicious golden crust.
