Directions
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Mild Italian Pork Sausage OR Hot Italian Chicken Sausage
- 1 jar (24 oz) Fire Roasted Tomato & Garlic sauce (or comparable)
- 1 can (14 1/2 oz) Fire-Roasted Tomatoes (drained), OR 2 cups Homemade Fire-Roasted Tomatoes
- 3/4 cup Ricotta
- 8 Large Eggs
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Pepper
- 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tbsp. Fresh Basil, minced
- 4 oz. French Bread (or comparable), cut into 1-inch slices
- 1/4 cup Butter, softened
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, crumbling meat, until no longer pink, 3-4 minutes; drain. Stir in pasta sauce and tomatoes. Transfer to a 13x9-in. baking dish.
- Dollop ricotta cheese on top of meat mixture. Gently break an egg into a small bowl; slip egg onto meat mixture between dollops of ricotta. Repeat with remaining eggs. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake until egg whites are completely set and yolks have begun to thicken but are not hard, 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with basil.
- Meanwhile, spread bread slices with butter; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Preheat broiler. Broil 3-4 in. from heat until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with baked eggs.
