Eggs in Purgatorio

Rosemary Potatoes

Toasted Focaccia

Method

Eggs in Purgatorio

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roasted Tomatoes

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a baking dish, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out evenly and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are blistered and soft.

  2. 2

    Make the Egg Mixture

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the roasted tomatoes along with Calabrese chili flakes. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Create small wells in the tomato mixture and crack the cage-free eggs into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs poach for about 5-7 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  4. 4

    Add the Cheeses

    Once the eggs are poached, sprinkle the mozzarella and Valserena Parmigiano over the top. Cover the skillet again for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Rosemary Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    While the tomatoes are roasting, wash and cut the small potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size.

  2. 7

    Season the Potatoes

    In a bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 8

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, turning halfway through.

Toasted Focaccia

  1. 9

    Toast the Bread

    While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush the focaccia slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toast the slices in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
