Skinny Poached Eggs Alla Pizzaiola
Ingredients
- ½ cup onions, diced
- ¼ cup red bell peppers, diced
- 1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance light
- 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Small pinch of crushed red pepper
- 1 (8 ounces) can tomato sauce
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 large eggs, I used Egg-Land Best eggs, see shopping tips
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Cook onions and red bell peppers in microwave for about 1 minute, to soften.
- In a medium nonstick pan, heat butter over medium heat, add cooked onions/peppers, garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Stir often. Mix in Italian seasoning, a little salt, black pepper, and a small pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Stir in tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir often. Gently drop in eggs. Be sure to keep the yolks intact. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for about 6-8 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked through and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
- To serve: Using a spatula, remove 2 eggs from each plate and add tomato sauce around it. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
