Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately with plenty of crusty bread for dipping and soaking up the delicious sauce.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin to the tomato sauce.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or eggplant.
If you don't have crushed tomatoes, you can use diced tomatoes instead. Just be sure to simmer the sauce for a longer period of time to allow it to thicken.
The cooking time for the eggs will vary depending on your preference. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they are cooked to your liking.
