Uovo al Purgatorio in Italian, is a dish in which eggs are poached in tomato sauce. Trust the Italians to come up with such an evocative name. This Indo-italian dish with prosciutto is just divine. A show stopper for brunch, easy and lip-smaking! —MasalaMama

Ingredients
-
1
jar Masala Mama Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce https://food52.com/shop...
-
½ teaspoons
red pepper flakes
-
8
slices of prosciutto
-
4
eggs
-
4 ounces
Cowgirl Creamery Wagon Wheel Cheese or Fontina, thinly sliced
-
Chives, sliced, for garnish
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Add Masala Mama Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce** and red pepper flakes to a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, and cook down gently for 10-15 minutes.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat and nestle the prosciutto down into the sauce.
-
Make 4 small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon, and crack an egg into each well.
-
Layer the cheese on top of the Shakshuka and transfer the skillet into the oven and bake until eggs are just set, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Garnish the Shakshuka with chives, and serve with crusty bread or naan for sopping up the deliciously yolky sauce.
-
TIP: This is great with goat cheese, feta cheese, gruyere, or Parmesan!
-
TIP: I love heating naan on a hot cast iron skillet or directly on the flame till it get a few brown spots and topping with some butter.
