Notes
Cook the eggs over low heat so they set without burning the sauce. If you prefer softer yolks, reduce the cooking time; if you like firmer yolks, leave them covered for a few extra minutes. Mozzarella cheese can be replaced with another cheese that melts well. Serve with white rice, bread or a simple salad for a quick and complete meal.
