Awesome! Used diced tomatos, oh and set them on a bed of creamy grits. Like I said, awesome!

    Very good! Served these over slices of whole-grain bread. The eggs took much longer to cook than the recipe specifies, so not sure what the difference was (heat, amount of tomato puree)? But they were fantastic tasting anyway, Thanks!

    Made these in individual servings and finished the last step in the oven (in those small oven proof ceramic dishes). FANTASTIC. It was easier to control how each person wished to have their eggs that way. LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. Served with various breads, Very easy really. Can be prepared all the way till putting the eggs in the night before.

    Great recipe! Sometimes I add some olives and capers to the tomato puree, just for a change of pace.
