How to create

Trimmed sausage, onions, and minced garlic.

Cut the sausage into bite-sized pieces and 1/2 of the onion into fingernail-sized pieces.

Heat 2 T olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add 1 T minced garlic and sauté.

When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the onion and sauté for about a minute.

When the onions are translucent, add the sausage and saute.

When the sausage starts to color, add 200 g tomato sauce, 1/3 t cumin powder, 1 t crushed red pepper, and a pinch of black pepper and sauté for 1 minute.

Add 50 ml of water and mix well.
💡 Adjust the water to your desired consistency, between 50 and 100 ml.

When the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat to low, then crack in 4 eggs and top each with a handful of mozzarella cheese. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Once the cheese is melted and the egg whites are cooked, sprinkle with a little parsley and you're done.
💡 If you like your eggs hard-boiled, or if you used frozen cheese and the cheese didn't melt well, cook it a little longer on low heat.

Caveats & tips

Source Concentration: Add more water for a brothy style, less for a thicker sauce.
Adjusting spiciness: Reduce or increase the amount of red pepper to adjust to your taste.
Utilizing toppings: Sprinkle herbs like parsley and basil at the end for extra flavor and a nice presentation.
With bread: It's great with baguettes, bread, and dipping sauces. It's also a great meal with rice.
