- Make Perfect Egg Wells:
- Use the back of a spoon to create deep wells in the sauce to keep the eggs contained and evenly cooked.
- Cover the Pan Properly:
- Use a tight-fitting lid to trap steam, which helps cook the eggs evenly without drying out the sauce.
- Toast the Bread:
- Serve with warm, buttered bread like sourdough, baguette, or pita to soak up the flavorful sauce.
- Garnishes:
- Experiment with toppings like sliced olives, chili flakes, or a drizzle of chili oil
- Make It Creamy:
- Stir in a dollop of Greek yogurt or cream into the sauce for added richness before adding the eggs.
