Once the bacon is crispy, add hot pepper flakes and minced garlic; cook for one more minute.

Add about 2/3 of the pata (tomato sauce) to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper; stir to combine.

Partially cover the pan and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes.

Add chopped fresh parsley to the sauce; stir to combine.

Crack each egg into a small ramekin or mug, then drop each egg into the sauce.

Cover the pan and let it cook for three minutes on medium heat.

Serve the eggs over cooked brown rice or with crusty bread.
