Melissa shows us how to make eggs in purgatory, or uova in purgatorio, an easy Italian skillet meal of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce.
Like shakshuka, eggs in purgatory would make a fantastic breakfast, brunch or light dinner, whether you’re recovering from a hangover or just in a hurry to get a satisfying, full-flavored dish on the table quickly.
“If purgatory tastes like this, maybe it’s not so bad,” Melissa said of the 30-minute, pantry-friendly recipe. “This actually looks like heaven.”

The recipe sounds good. But tomatoes are not good for cast iron because the acidity in them strip the seasoning, no?
I thought this was gonna be Shakshuka…
isn't that Shakshuka?
Very easy and can be made in a myriad of ways. I like smoked paprika and sub the chili flakes for some sriracha. Lots of fresh parsley on top! I’ve seen it with crumbed cheese like cojita, feta, Parmesan. Butter the bread!
What a silly name for shakshuka
Shakshuka without cumin and other spices
I had something very close to this for breakfast today. I used homemade roasted tomato sauce that I added habanero and Serrano peppers to. I served it with ham and toast. I will add the anchovies next time. I have them but, I didn't think to add them.
shakshuka for white people
Am I on lonely island or is this just shakshouka?
I love how she teaches. Sweet but direct and lots of tips for personal adjustment.
🙋🏾♀️ what is the difference between Eggs in Purgatory and shashuka? Is it just a matter of spices and cultures-of-origin?
That bread looks/ sounds awesome. Where is that bread made ?
Wait a second… this feels like a ripoff of shakshuka… 🤔
I'm allergic to fish but use Worcestershire or fish sauce as a substitute (yes friends I know they contain fish, the fermentation denatures the protein or whatever so it doesn't cause any issue). If anyone is making this and doesn't want to use anchovies I think that would be a good sub for others too.
Send me to puratory
if this is what purgatory is serving, i may just need to stick around a little longer
Repatory? Repertoire
love the burns on the wooden spoon handle! Just like home.
