Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a plastic bag, combine the flour, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Shake to mix. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. There should be enough oil to thinly coat the bottom of the skillet. Dip the eggplant slices in egg, then place in the bag and shake to coat. Fry the slices in the skillet until golden brown on each side. Remove, and drain on paper towels.
- Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9 inch square baking dish. Cover with the eggplant slices, then top with more sauce. Mix together the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese; spread over the eggplant. Spread sauce over the cheese, and top with tomato slices. Cover with more sauce, and spread remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Serve the eggplant tomato bake over pasta.

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).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice off the top part of the tomatoes horizontally and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Reserve for another use. Season the tomatoes heavily with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain off excess oil. Add the chorizo to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Transfer the potatoes back to the pan with the chorizo. Keep cooking until the chorizo is crisp, about 3 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and drain off excess fat on a paper towel.
- Divide the chorizo mixture evenly between the scooped out tomatoes. Crack one egg onto each of the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes or until the egg whites are fully cooked. Crumble queso fresco on top and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.

ITALIAN EGG AND TOMATOES
A tasty and budget friendly meal that's inspiration comes from a local Italian restaurant. Prep time and cook time do not include making or grilling the polenta. As I use Parmesan cheese polenta I have made the night before and therefor just slice and grill it. You could also buy and use pre-made polenta although to me it has less flavor.
