Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the chickpeas, tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and let cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, letting it wilt.
- With the back of a spoon, make 4 indentations in the sauce. Crack one egg inside of each, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the whole dish.
- Carefully transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve hot with baguette slices.

Steps:
- Smash 3 of the garlic cloves. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the smashed garlic, onions and thyme, and cook, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the gin and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes, olives and olive brine and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, while breaking up the tomatoes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Make 8 shallow wells in the sauce. Working with 1 egg at a time, crack into a ramekin or glass measure, and then gently pour into the wells. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme if using.
- Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining garlic clove and serve with the sauce and eggs.

Steps:
- Warm a thin layer of olive oil in a small skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent - about 5 minutes. In the meanwhile, prepare your tomatoes by removing the flesh/pulp from the tomatoes. Discard the skin; give the pulp a rough chop.
- Add the garlic to the onion and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the chopped up tomato pulp along with the tomato paste. Stir together and cook for 1 minute, then add 1/8 cup of water.
- Add the leaves from the sprig of thyme, about 1/2 tsp of salt (or to taste) and a pinch of freshly ground pepper. Let the mixture simmer over low heat for a few minutes for the tomatoes to soften up a bit.
- Crack the eggs open and onto the tomato sauce. Set the heat to medium-low and place a lid over the skillet. Let the eggs cook for about 4-6 minutes, until the yolks have obtained a thin white film over them and the whites are cooked.
- Before serving, sprinkle a small pinch of salt and pepper over just the eggs. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and/or fresh parsley or basil.

ANDE KI KARI (EGGS IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE)
In this classic Indian dish, adapted from the cookbook author Julie Sahni, hard-cooked eggs are swathed in a spicy tomato gravy fragrant with cardamom, cumin and cinnamon. Since garam masala spice blends vary in their chile content, sample yours before adding it to the sauce, then stir it in to taste. You can make the sauce and hard-cook the eggs a day ahead (store them in the refrigerator), but the eggs are best introduced to the pot just before serving; simply reheat them in the simmering sauce. You can serve the eggs over rice, or with flatbread on the side.

Steps:
- Hard-boil the eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then carefully lower eggs into water. Cook for 9 to 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to an ice bath. Let cool, then crack and peel. Reserve.
- Set a box grater over a bowl. Starting with their cut sides, grate the tomatoes through the large holes so tomato pulp falls into bowl. Discard skins. Measure out 2 cups tomato purée. (Save the rest for another purpose, such as adding to a vinaigrette.)
- Heat ghee (or butter or oil) and coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and cook until deeply golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly to encourage even browning.
- Stir in garlic, ginger and cumin seeds; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and cardamom and cook another 1 minute. Stir in coriander, cumin, turmeric, red pepper flakes and black pepper, then add tomato purée. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick and fat begins to separate, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt and boiling water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, until sauce is thick and has a satin sheen, 7 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for another 20 minutes to let flavors meld.
- When ready to serve, cut eggs in half lengthwise. Bring sauce back to a simmer over low heat, stir in garam masala, and gently add eggs to sauce. Simmer just long enough to heat eggs through. Top with cilantro and serve with yogurt and rice or flatbread if desired.

HARD-COOKED EGGS IN TOMATO-ONION SAUCE
This is the eggs-as-meat-style main course of hard-cooked eggs simmered in tomato sauce. Though the main recipe here is Mediterranean, and you often see this preparation in southern Italy (it's good over pasta), it is equally well known in India, where it is served with chapatti or other bread, and where the spicing is more assertive and the results even more surprising.
