Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil 15ml
4 Italian sausages, casings removed 1 pound / 450g
½ medium onion, diced 55g
1 red bell pepper, diced 119g
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika 2g
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1g
1 teaspoon dried oregano 1g
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 1g
1 can diced tomatoes, no sugar added 14.5 ounces / 411g
¼ cup tomato paste 60g
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large eggs
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and add the tomato paste. Stir well to combine. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Using a spoon, make four wells in the tomato and sausage mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the eggs are done to your liking, about 5-10 minutes for soft yolks.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Notes

For those who prefer a milder taste, you can reduce or omit the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes. For a dairy-free option, ensure your sausages are dairy-free. This dish can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated over low heat.
