Directions

Step1

Preheat the grill and place the pan in the center of the grill grate.

Step2

Add olive oil to the pan and sauté the finely chopped garlic clove along with the chili flakes for about one minute until the garlic is lightly browned. Alternatively, you can season the dish at the end with chili powder or Tabasco instead of chili flakes.

Step3

Add the chopped tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Once the tomatoes start to boil, crack the eggs onto the tomato mixture. Leave about three finger widths of space between the eggs.

Step4

Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the eggs and cover the pan with a lid, allowing some air to escape. Let the eggs cook in this "purgatory" for about five minutes until they set.

Step5

Serve the fiery fried eggs directly in the pan, optionally with more Parmesan cheese or additional hot sauce.
