About Egg in purgatory

Egg In Purgatory is a flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or quick meal. The recipe typically features eggs poached in a rich, spiced tomato sauce made with olive oil, garlic, onions, and herbs like basil and oregano. Some variations may include chili flakes for heat or grated Parmesan cheese for added depth. Packed with protein from the eggs and nutrients from the tomatoes, the dish offers a good balance of vitamins like A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants such as lycopene. Olive oil contributes healthy fats, making the dish filling and satisfying. While Egg In Purgatory is relatively low in calories and can be part of a balanced diet, its nutritional profile can be affected by additions like cheese or excessive oil, which increase saturated fat and calorie content. Pairing it with whole-grain bread can add fiber and complement its health benefits.
