(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb hot Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 5 oz Ciabatta bread, cubed
  • 2 cups marinara
  • 4 oz provolone cheese, diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, torn
  • 4 large eggs
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden, 2-3 minutes.

  2. Stir the bread into the sausage mixture and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the marinara and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the provolone, 2 tbsp Parmesan and 1/4 cup basil.

  3. Use the back of a spoon to make 4 shallow wells in the tomato mixture; carefully crack 1 egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4-9 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp Parmesan and 1/4 cup basil. Season with salt and pepper.
