Instructions

Marinara Sauce

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and sauté until tender.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano basil, cheeses, salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes to blend flavors.
Marinara can be made ahead up to 3 days in advance.

Baked Eggs

Preheat oven to 425^o F.
Lightly spray a 9 X 11 inch baking dish or 6 (6 inch) ramekins with nonstick spray.
Heat Marinara Sauce and place in the bottom of baking dish or ramekins*. Use the bottom of a small custard cup to make 12 indentations in the sauce. Crack on egg into each of these indentations.
Sprinkle the combined cheeses over the top of the eggs. Bake until the egg whites are set, the yokes are a bit runny and the cheese has melted, about 18 minutes, watching carefully not to over cook the yolk.>
Serve by scooping eggs and sauce into individual bowls, using a large spoon, and garnish with basil. Serve with thick slices of Italian or french bread that has been toasted.
Cook's Note: Can use prepared or jarred marinara sauce. If using the ramekins divide the Marinara Sauce between the 6 ramekins and put 2 eggs in each one. Follow directions above dividing ingredients between the 6 ramekins.
