Ingredients

  • 1 lb. bulk Italian sausage
  • 24 oz. jar fire-roasted tomato and garlic pasta sauce
  • 14.5 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp. minced fresh basil
  • 1 loaf French bread demi-baguette, cut into 1-in. slices
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

Directions

  1. 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 13×9-inch baking dish.

  2. Dollop ricotta on top of meat mixture. Gently break an egg into a small bowl; slip egg onto ricotta. Repeat with remaining eggs. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and Parmesan.

  3. Bake 30-35 minutes or until the egg whites are completely set and the yolks have begun to thicken but are not hard. Remove from oven; sprinkle with basil.

  4. Meanwhile, spread bread slices with butter; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Preheat broiler. Broil 3-4 inches from heat 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve immediately with baked eggs.
