"A plate of eggs is the quintessential breakfast, and there's really no shortage of ways to enjoy them. From simple sunny side up or omelets to more elaborate eggs Benedict, you could try a new one each morning without running out of options. For something a little different - and to blur the lines between breakfast and dinner - try eggs alla pizzaiola."
"The dish is a twist on carne alla pizzaiola, or pizza-style meat, a way of cooking beef or other meat in a rich tomatoey sauce flavored with oregano and garnished with basil. Mozzarella is optional on the meat, but we would say essential for the breakfast eggs. It gives the dish a hearty hit of protein and that pizza cheese pull satisfaction."
Eggs alla pizzaiola infuses eggs with classic pizza sauce flavors, resembling Italian shakshuka or eggs in purgatory. The dish derives from carne alla pizzaiola, cooking meat in a tomato-oregano sauce, and adapts those flavors to eggs. The sauce begins with garlic sautéed in olive oil, then crushed or grated tomatoes or passata are added, with optional halved cherry tomatoes for texture. Season with salt, pepper, oregano and optional chili, and simmer briefly. Make wells in the sauce, add eggs without breaking yolks, and top with mozzarella and grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
