Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small red pepper, cored, seeded and diced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Olli Genoa Salami Chub, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 6 eggs
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions and red pepper and season generously with salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the Olli Genoa salami and garlic and sauté, stirring a few times, for 2 more minutes.
  • Stir in the diced and crushed tomatoes and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cover the pan and let simmer until the tomatoes deepen in color, about 15 minutes.
  • Uncover the pot and, using a wooden spoon, create pockets for the eggs. Carefully crack an egg into each pocket. Place the mozzarella slices on top of the tomato sauce, around the eggs.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until egg whites are opaque and the yolk is still runny, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and top with fresh basil. Serve with plenty of warm crusty bread.
