Stir in crushed tomatoes, season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper, and simmer on low until thickened, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each. Sprinkle with salt.

Bake 7–10 minutes, until whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny.

Top with fresh herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add feta or Parmesan if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or pita.
