The recipe and photography for this post was provided by Carolyn Hodges of The Dinner Shift.
Simmered eggs in a tomato-based sauce is one of my go-to weeknight meals when we need food fast. It’s filling, flavorful and so versatile. It’s also a great way to incorporate superfoods like swiss chard and kale into your daily diet.
This dinner-for-two takes no more than 20 minutes and can easily be doubled to feed more. Since this dish relies on just a handful of ingredients, I like to use a higher quality canned tomato. I recommend San Marzano tomatoes, which are richer in flavor and less acidic than other canned varieties.

Instructions
