About Eggs in purgatory
Eggs in Purgatory is a flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, combining poached eggs with a spiced tomato sauce. The sauce is typically made from crushed tomatoes simmered with garlic, olive oil, and herbs like basil or oregano, and sometimes includes chili flakes for added heat. The eggs are cooked directly in the sauce until just set, creating a hearty, protein-rich meal. Packed with vitamins from the tomatoes—like lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium—and healthy fats from olive oil, this dish delivers both nutrition and bold flavor. Served with whole-grain bread or greens, it can be part of a balanced diet. However, depending on preparation, sodium levels in the sauce and additional fats from bread or cheese garnishes may contribute to higher calorie or salt intake. Ideal for brunch or dinner, Eggs in Purgatory exemplifies Mediterranean-inspired eating with its simple, wholesome ingredients.
