Eggs in Purgatory

This is a very easy and cheap dinner, easily scaled for however many you need to serve. I have the recipe for one below, as tonight Shaun and I were just foraging thanks to a headache I had earlier that precluded any major cooking that might involve such things as knives 😛

Eggs in Purgatory
Serves 1

1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 large clove garlic, pressed
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried basil
1 small (8 oz) can tomato sauce
2 eggs

Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and other spices and cook until the garlic is just turning golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl and slide it into the sauce. Repeat with the other egg. Cover and cook eggs to desired doneness – as little as 3 minutes and as much as 10. Slide the sauce and eggs into a bowl and eat hot.
