Need something to do with those cans of crushed tomatoes you hoarded right before stay-at-home became a thing? I got you.
This is one of my favorite communal dishes for breakfast/brunch/dinner/whenever. It’s savory, hearty, and spicy. You can enjoy it with spicy italian sausage (highly recommend!) or simply without.
Get to it–it’s damn good.

- 2 hot italian chicken sausage links (from butcher)
- 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

- 1 28-ounce can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove Italian sausage from casein and add to skillet. Break sausage into pieces as it cooks.
- Lower heat to medium and add onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until soft. Next, add garlic and cook until fragrant.

NOTES
If eggs aren’t set after 10 mins, lightly place foil on top of skillet and cook for an addition 3-7 mins.
