Ingredients
Butter, for ramekins
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 plum tomatoes, seeded and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chiffonade basil leaves, plus more for garnish
4 eggs
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter 4 (5-inch) oven-safe ramekins or earthenware dishes.
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, and garlic and saute until fragrant. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes, tomatoes, and tomato paste and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and fold in the basil.
- Fill the prepared ramekins with the tomato mixture. Top each with a cracked egg. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until the eggs are set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven, garnish with basil and serve.
