Steps:
- Pour the can of tomatoes with their juice into a large skillet.
- Stir in the salt, oregano, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Taste. Add more seasoning, if desired.
- Use the back of a spoon to nudge some tomatoes apart. Carefully crack an egg into the liquid where the tomatoes used to be. Make space for another egg and then crack it in. Repeat with the remaining eggs. The eggs should not be submerged but should be nestled among the tomatoes.
- Increase the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook until the whites have solidified but the yolks are still runny, 7-10 minutes. Note that with my stove and my skillet I have to turn the pan periodically so that the eggs heat evenly and cook in the same amount of time. You may need to do the same.
- When the eggs are cooked to the desired doneness, drizzle each egg with some olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan and basil/parsley (if using).

- Stir the tomatoes, beans (and their liquid) and 1/2 cup basil into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium low to maintain a gentle simmer. Make 8 wells in the sauce and crack 1 egg into each well; season each with salt and pepper.

Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Serve with the baguette.

- Cook the eggs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
- Stir the eggs frequently. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet and to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the eggs to taste. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings that you like.
- Serve the eggs immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the skillet.
