Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And it's super fun to say 'Shock-shoe-kah'. Enjoy!

1 large can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

-Crack the eggs directly into the wells
-Gently spoon a bit of the tomato mixture over the egg whites to help contain the eggs

-The eggs are done when the egg whites are an opaque white and the yolks have risen a bit but are still soft, you want your yolks soft!

-Recommend serving over sauteed spinach and polenta or simply serve with a yummy slice of toast or bread
