Method
Sauce & Base
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare tomato sauce
Heat 1 tbs olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in 1 cup tomato passata, add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar (if using), and 3 torn basil leaves. Simmer gently 6–8 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Protein & Mushrooms
Assemble & Bake
Assemble ramekins
Lightly oil two individual ovenproof ramekins or one small gratin dish. Spoon an even layer of the tomato sauce into the bottom (about 2–3 tbs per ramekin). Divide the sausage and porcini mixture between the dishes, creating a small well in the center for each egg.
Add eggs and cheese
Gently crack one large egg into each well (or both into the gratin dish). Tear the 2 oz buffalo mozzarella into small pieces and distribute evenly over/around the eggs. Sprinkle the optional 1 tbs grated Parmesan over the top if using.
Bake
Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–14 minutes, until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny (bake longer for firmer yolks). Total time depends on oven and dish size—start checking at 10 minutes.
Finishing & Bread
Finish and serve
Remove ramekins from oven. Drizzle each with 1/4 tsp truffle oil (total 1/2 tsp) and, if using, a pinch of lemon zest. Sprinkle with chopped fresh thyme or parsley. Serve immediately with the toasted bread for dipping into the yolk.
