Mediterranean Diet 30Day Challenge (Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan) Day 11: Eggs in Purgatory! Eggs in Purgatory, or Uova al Purgatorio as it’s called in Italy, is a breakfast made of eggs gently poached in a spicy tomato sauce. Eggs in Purgatory is often compared to Shakshuka, a similar brothy soft poached egg and aromatic tomato sauce dish. While similar to Middle Eastern Shakshuka, the way the sauce is seasoned is quite different. Instead of feta and mint, Italian flavors like fresh basil and ParmigianoReggiano take center stage. #mediterraneandiet #eggs #shakshuka #eggrecipe
