Under medium heat, add olive oil to a 10-inch non-stick skillet.

Add the sliced red onion and sauté until translucent.

Add the canned plum tomatoes and season with salt and black pepper.

Cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down, chopping them up to help the process.

Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are white and the yolk is still runny, about three to four minutes.
